I said it before and I'll say it again. THIS does have an errie resemblence to Vietnam.

LBJ said once, "The US Air Force can't bomb a $hithouse in N.Vietnam without my knowing about it."

Mr. President - give the military a mission, and let them accomplish the mission in good military fashion. Do not control or constrain military action by political considerations. This is why Vietnam failed. Peace is a product of war. You will have peace when the enemy is destroyed - not before.

This Marine's 2 and 1/2 cent.

I agree...kill them. Kill them all if you have to. Quit screwin' around. They ain't never gonna be our buddies. It is better to be respected than to be liked anyway.

What do you mean when you say "political considerations"? What evidence do you have that the president is constraining military action for "political considerations"?

What specific mission has the president given the Marines in Fallujah and how is he not letting them accomplish it?
