This war is going to take a LONG time, I beleive the populace of the west is too weak menatally to last that long.
I beleive the generals are screwing things up big time, I beleive this is a direct result of the policy of politicians picking who is to be promoted to general, A mind boggling policy, fucked up IMO.
The military is not on a war mentally, let alone the civilian population.
Personally I think pres Bush is being far too soft, that being said I dont think he could be any tougher without the Senate/Congress etc... stepping in and stopping things.
All the cards are in place for us to fail IMO, that being said, I beleive we are totally capable of winning this.
We must 'stay the course' or we will face defeat for us or our kids.
We must change our tactics/strategy, I would start by fireing a few generals, get some fire eaters in there that dont mind losing a few guys to do the job properly.
