Tougher in Iraq

I said this same thing last week. In essense, you win a war by giving the enemy no hope. That is the only way to win. Otherwise, they will continue to fight.

This is one of the problems with going into Iraq in the first place. With only so-so support within and certainly outside the US, Bush set himself up to fight with kid gloves, because of fear of civilian casualties and the media coverage, and support of folks at home. This guy points out that Kerry won't be much better.

What happened to our leaders? In a few short years, we've gone from a country that couldn't fail, to one that doesn't seem like it can win.
