It is hard to believe that any administration could be this incompetent. They must want Iraq to fail. But this is a dangerous strategy--I don't think that after Vietnam Americans will put up with a long, drawn-out war with no success in sight, or, as is increasingly obvious, no success even possible. If Iraq remains in a state of chaos, they will not be able to get the oil industry up and running; there simply will be too much sabotage. Our coalition partners are bailing out, and American contractors are afraid to go there because of the kidnappings and beheadings. I think that we will be forced to embrace defeat, call it victory, and get the hell out. And the sooner the better, IMHO.
