The Pentagon needs to fear that the jihadis have studied their history. This war is tottering at home (which is all that counts). Just look at ALL the polls.
If the jihadis want it to tip their way, they need to launch a Tet-like offensive which shocks everyone with its scope and boldness. They don't have to win the attack--just attempting it is enough.

If the Pentagon didn't consider that scenario as a possibleprobable outcome before a single U.S. soldier was put on the ground over there, then the entire U.S. Department of Defense should be prosecuted for dereliction of duty.

They don't have to read their history, they just have to watch the Senate Armed Services hearings yesterday. Linday Graham made the same handwringing observation yesterday while quizzing Rumsfeld. Unfortunately, Graham seemed to indicate that Tet was a military defeat for the US, when really, it was a huge defeat for the Communists. Of course, Walter Cronkite and the rest of the MSM made it a huge propaganda defeat for the US.
