IG,
That story game be my fist vietnam deja vu reaction. I dont know how i will live with myself if for the second time in my life, i make such an initial misjudgement of trusting my leaders(LBJ & Bush) which costs the deaths of tens of thousand at a minimum in a war it turns out we cannot win.
Having said that, in truth where i was 95% certain, it may have dropped to 85% in the last few days.
I say all this, because if this is not settled quickly and decisively popular support for bush which has already peaked will start to crumble. This is saddams strategy as he now trade civilian lives for time as well as allowing the Rev Guards to be crushed, also to buy time. We have a couple of weeks for this op to become clearly positive. Mike
