...repeating a mistake made in Vietnam by not applying the full force of the military to win the war.

Wrong analogy Alex, try
"Reestablishing an Elected Government" for 100.
Or "Post War headaches" for 200.
Or maybe "If we wanted to kill everybody, we had the manpower in theatre" for 300.
or "I want to say something to get in the news, but my brain disintegrated years ago" for 400.

seems to me he makes a very solid point. War is or should be an all or none job. Don't start it if you do not have the guts to finish it..as for daja vu we now have Syria and Iran as safe havens to attack us in Iraq, seem familiar some how??

Here is where I disagree with you. I don't think this war is being prosecuted anywhere NEAR brutally enough. War is nasty business and by only fighting a guerella enemy by the Marquis de Queensbury rules of etiquitte, you are asking for trouble.

Fallujah should not even be on the map anymore and Al Jazeera should have been taken out ten minutes after the Towers fell.
