Hi JEB; Re: "Iraq is just one battle, we've got a long row to hoe."

That mule ain't going nowhere. The hoe's stuck in "a rock".

Bush turned a situation where we could drop bombs with impunity any time we wanted to on pretty much anything we felt like in Iraq with very few casualties, to a situation where their side could ambush US convoys pretty much any time they want pretty much anywhere in Iraq, with slowly mounting US casualties.

Bush gutted the technological advantage we had over Saddam. Now we're in a land war in Asia with no locals to provide the cannon (or claymore or whatever) fodder. It's only a matter of time before he (or Kerry) is forced to pull out.
