"After the Tet offensive of 1968, the Viet Cong were practically wiped out as a force. "

That is one reason General Gaip wrote that the Viet Cong were almost ready to surrender, but that the traitors like John Kerry gave them the will to go on. Those traitors managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Hawk...you know as well as I that those 15 provinces are only secure because they're being policed by their own militias.

You also know that those militias have no real allegiance to Iraq as a country.

As far as the Mahdi Army, I think we should take al Sadr and ALL his top people out, or the Mahdi Army will definitely drive Iraq into civil war.
