Reply #45: The Iraqis are fighting a guerilla war, [View All]

[Matilda]

and I don't know of any wars that have been won against guerillas
fighting on their own soil. Battles , maybe, but not wars.
Especially when their numbers can be supplemented from other
countries on their borders.

Nor, I think, would any general ever advise an attack simply because
it wouldn't look good not to - bad tactics. Which is why so many
real soldiers opposed pretend soldier Bush's plans in the first
place - the reasons for war were wrong, and the strategies non-
existent.

Interestingly, Australian P.M. John Howard yesterday pledged that
Australian troops would stay for another year - when he followed
Bush into this war, he said it would be months, not years, before
they came home. That's how it so often goes in war, which is one
reason why war is a BAD THING.
