This war biz just does'nt want to settle for tidy answers Sam. Guess it's not like an episode on TV. Seems like many people want predictable outcomes. "Mission Accomplished" was interpreteted as "Died and Gone to Heaven" by some folks.
Wait till you hear from the "Home for Christmas" crowd...they're warming up next door.
Noone expects tidy answers. Just a coherent plan based on realistic goals.
We don't have the manpower to pacify the Sunni Triangle or prevent civil war. And the American people are not going to lose 5 men a day for the next decade trying.
