I understand perfectly the situation going on over there, I and anyone who looked at the war objectively from the outset knew that the only possible outcome of the "war" was that it would become a guerilla war, fought within the buildings of the towns. Did the American military learn nothing from Somalia?
A ground incursion in an urban area simply will not work unless the Americans decide on a policy of mass genocide of anyone and anything that moves in Tikrit, Baghdad or Fallujah. But then, what was the point of "liberating" the Iraqi people if all you are going to do is blow them all to Heaven?
