There are times when a superpower can't win against an insurgency. This is one of those times.........Vietnam was another. Afganistan is about to be a third. The main result of the Iraq war is that small groups have learned how to defeat the Rumsfeld concept of a modern army. TP

RE:"Trust me, the press isn't going around beheading people and then putting their heads wrapped in plastic in boxes around Baghdad." Yeah, by nary a word about the Iraqi tennis team being executed for wearing shorts. Clearly Bush underestimated the radical factions and the hate between the Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites. It's a bit like Tito holding together yugoslavia. When Saddam was gone, a civil war was ineviatable. RE:"There are times when a superpower can't win against an insurgency. This is one of those times.........Vietnam was another." Heck, we could scortch the place and win but that's not politically correct so I say just leave. BTW, you jump on me when I don't constantly bash Bush but thats ALL you do. Humm.
