I've heard this comparison to the length of time we fought in World War 2 before. This must be on their talking point list of why Iraq is a failure, i.e. it's taking longer than World War 2.

I take perverse pleasure in reminding such like minded liberal loonies that we are STILL occupying Germany, post WW2.

[Philistone]

Of course in WWII we were allowed to carpet bomb and nuke the enemy.

Might have something to do with it...

[Edgerunner]

She is ignoring the post war occupation time. Typical...

Mrs. Pelosi is one strange woman.

Imagine her as speaker. Creepsd me out.

If we were fighting in Iraq like we fought WWII in Europe, we would dispatch a million men with tanks and field artillery, bomb their cities into flaming rubble and kill enemy combatants without regard to the presence of the civilian population. Is that what the estimable Ms. Pelosi wants?

Or does she just want to abuse whatever ocassion is at hand in order to score cheap political points purchased with even cheaper rhetoric?

It's taking longer than World War II because then we only had to fight the Germans, Japanese and Italians.

Now we have to fight the Taliban, Iraqi terrorists, Al Qaeda, the American Liberals and the Main Stream Media.

"it's taking longer than World War 2."

In the good old days, our forces could firebomb civilian centers or drop nukes and kill tens of thousands. Today we have to tip-toe around snipers in mosques.

PC-ism does not make for a quick war.

My History may messed up but did't it take four years to beat the nazi's we have only been in iraq for three?
