5. Obviously NeoCons Never Read American History
We could go into the comparisons of Vietnam or Afghanistan, but the real "father" of this war is our own George Washington.

We gained our independence waging a long war of attrition against a far superior force that was over-stretched far from home. Washington avoided direct confrontation just as others have done and will do...and now with far more devestating effects.

The "military intelligence" that rushed into this war head their heads so far up their dogmatic asses that they failed to grasp the concept that no matter how evil Saddam was, he still was an Iraqi and only Iraqis will ultimately settle his fate...not us or anyone else.

What's really troubling is the ignorance and arrogance goes on with little to no clue. How many more will have to die? And WE'RE UnAmerican by calling it as it was or is?

To all who saw this coming...and I, also knew Saddam would melt and fight underground (what else could he do???), this means we'll be in for a long and extremely painful chapter of our history. We'll prevail, just like in Vietnam, it's going to take a lot of lives and blood to get the rest of the country finally to join us.
