Over 1/2 Americans believe

[INdemo]

Just read a headline on CNN web site..Over 1/2 of Americans believe we cannot win in Iraq. This is quite different than saying over 1/2 just don't approve of being there..Well its headed if not already there of being a Vietnam all over again.

1. I keep remebering Walter Pinkus having a hissy fit

the day Scott Ritter (both on Washington Journal) said the US would be run out of Iraq with our tails between our legs.

Have we heard from Scott Ritter lately? At least he's been to Iraq and knows the people somewhat.

2. You might hear a bit more from Ritter, he's got a new book coming out.

3. It's not really different.

If 1/2 of Americans think we can't win the war in Iraq, then why
would they approve of our being there?

4. It may be on its way to being another Vietnam,

But Bush's "Gulf of Tonkin" will be the "Gulf of Mexico", and Katrina will be the Tet Offensive that tips popular opinion (and support for his Iraq War) against him. Different Gulf, different offensive, same effect -- STOP THE WAR.
