I suppose they are frustrated and indulging in wishful thinking that there was a simple way out. Personally, I think things are going just fine in Iraq, if we can just manage not to lose the propaganda war. Lord, I wish we could arrest the enemies within. I suppose that's MY wishful thinking.

I would argue that the most serious "enemy within" is not in the U.S. but in Iraq: namely the native army and police of the "New Iraq" which seems to run like scared rabbits during any serious fight. At this rate, they will make even the ARVN seem like a potent fighting force by comparison.
