Since when does the military run a war by consensus? Name one war that civilian concensus was used to win.

If you had a broken car... would you tear it apart personally to fix it. Of course not. You would hire a professional. We have professional soldiers. They testified before congress. They said the process is going well. I for one believe them.

There is an entire special op unit "going after" Zarqawi. I remember people like you saying the same weak-kneed thing about Saddam and his sons. Well?????!!!!!!!!

Get a grip... wars are not won over night.

Have you heard about "tactical withdrawl"?

Yeah, you do it when it looks like you are going to get your ass kicked, resupply, replan, then try again.

In our case with only a little over 2,000 deaths, probably the lowest casuality to money expenditure ratio for any war ever, we are far from getting our butts kicked.

In fact the numbers would say we are winning in a big way!
