We were lied to about the reasons for the invasion, just like in the Tonkin Gulf.
There is no exit strategy.
The "elections" will be a debacle of the first magnitude.
The Iraqi police and soldiers are not 10% as good as the ARVNs we all knew and loved.
National Guard and Reserve recruiting is a shambles.
We now destroy whole cities ( Fallujah ) to save them, in Vietnam, outside of the Tet offensive, it was just villages we did this to.
You cannot defend against those who will commit suicide for their cause.
When and if we ever leave, the country will be a three-way bloodbath.
Rumsfeld is an uncaring, arrogant bastard in the mode of Robert McNamara.
I call it a quagmire. Hell yes.
