What I read from the military blogs is rather positive

I don't think military blogs have much credibility. Critisizing publicly the strategy of their employer and commader in chief is not very likely, since it will hurt their careers. Critics of their companies in the corporate world are called whistleblowers, and are very few. The situation in our professional army is similar.

A better comparison is between the US now and Britain in 1940

I don't think the analogy is a good one. Britain was attacked by the then world's only military superpower and was fighting for its life. It had no choise but to fight, alone or not.

The war in Iraq not only was not helpful in the WOT but was counterproductive -- in other words, it helped islamic terror.
