This guy is out of touch. The War in Iraq was one of the most successful ever. What other country could have pulled off such a swift victory with so few casualties? Militarily speaking it was amazing. ( were there mistakes? of course - it is war. )
The occupation has had some problems, definatly some lack of planning and knowledge of mid east mind sets and such. However, I think it has gone pretty well.
It has not even celerated the first anniversy of the start of the war yet....
This is but a small snipit in time.
PD you are an old guy, how long before Vietnam became an major politcal issue with regards to the occupation and war? I know it was not less then a year.
