I don't know if anybody said that. But one of the people that I listened to regularly - Bernie Ward, always said that the US might win the war and rather easily at that, but will fail to win the peace. Btw, here's more: With the introduction of the Warner resolution, five Republican senators are now on record opposing Bush's decision. The resolution's co-sponsors, Warner, Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), are all up for reelection next year, as is Sen. Gordon Smith (R-Ore.), who was included in the resolution's drafting over the weekend. John Warner: up for re-election in 2008. Norm Coleman: up for re-election in 2008. Susan Collins: up for re-election in 2008. Gordon Smith: up for re-election in 2008. The fifth GOP Senator on record, of course, is Chuck Hagel. Up for re-election in 2008. My, my, my, Republican Senators. Do you want to Win in Iraq (TM), or not?! LOL!

Dumbyasscalation update : The Army and Marine Corps “are short thousands of vehicles, armor kits and other equipment needed to supply” the extra 21,500 troops President Bush plans to send to Iraq. “It’s inevitable that that has to happen, unless five brigades of up-armored Humvees fall out of the sky,” one senior Army official said. Simulations of civil war in Iraq carried out by the Brookings Institution found that, “as the descent into civil war gathered pace, confrontation between the US and Iran intensified, and Washington’s leverage on Tehran diminished. Civil war in Iraq would turn Iran into ‘the unambiguous adversary’ of the US.”
