The situation in Iraq is an insurgent force, and quite honestly, if we
weren't so damn concerned about politics and 'collateral damage' we
could
have the insurgency put down in 12 hours. If you don't belive that, then
you
are a fool. And quite frankly, it's really only been a very short time
anyway.

I don't agree. I suppose I must be a fool. Check your words.
