Hey, Carl, weren't you the one saying that no war can be won until 5% of the men are dead? Is that rule only for other people? Yet you expect Americans to run away because of 30 casualties a month? We fought for ten years in Vietnam, and were losing 500 a week at the peak. Now that we've caught Saddam, I expect our effectiveness in fighting to rise because we'll get more Iraqi tips. The Ba'athists will be disheartened, and, more to the point, less intimidating to their neighbors. The main problems will switch to the jihadists, but few Iraqis support them either.
