So where does this Mr. Buckley get off making such pronouncements?

I'm not necessarily agreeing with him. I was just pointing out that we've been fighting in Iraq for almost three years, and the War on Terror will be five years old shortly.

Why is it taking so long for us to finish in Iraq, when sixty years ago we pretty much conquered half the planet in the same amount of time?

I don't see many useful points of comparison between WWII and the current war.

Why is it taking so long for us to finish in Iraq, when sixty years ago we pretty much conquered half the planet in the same amount of time?

Because we are not trying to do the same sort of thing.

And note, we are not being asked to cut back on meat or nylons. So what's your problem?
