Dude, you need to hang with smarter folks.

I assume you count yourself among the 'smarter folks'.

Then tell me-- compared to Verdun, Okinawa, the battle of the bulge, etc, is Iraq a cake-walk?

No, it's not a cake walk. Our enemy this time has several powerful weapons on their side not available to the Germans and Japanese, weapons of proven effectiveness. We can lose Iraq and, if we do, the repercussions will be severe.
