True enough but that statement can be said for every war we've ever been in. Look at all the 'mistakes' that happened on D-Day, Tarawa, Iwo Jima. Despite those mistakes, we learned and we won. Same thing is happening in Iraq. We've never fought this kind of war so mistakes are natural. What's important are the overall results which, no surprise, have gone generally well and unreported.
I stand corrected.
