tig,

One of the mistakes of Vietnam that is being repeated in Iraq is trying to define the insurgents goals for them. They are going to determine for themselves if they think they are winning or losing by their own criteria.


We were winning the war on the ground, just like Iraq, but we lost the popular opinion war in America.

We aren't defining the insurgents goals for them. Looking at there own stated goals, we can see that they aren't achieving them in Iraq.
