I fear Iraq will be the dusty and sandy side of the Viet Nam coin.

03/26 10:05P (DJ)DJ Some US Military Officers Say Iraq War May Last
Months-WP
Story 9243 (H/, G/DEF, G/USG, N/DJN, N/DJRT, N/DJWR, N/CMD, N/DJWI,
N/GEN...)
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Some senior U.S. military officers are
now convinced
that the Iraq war will last months and will require considerably more
combat
power than is now on hand there and in Kuwait, The Washington Post
reported on
its Web site Wednesday.
The weather, the long and insecure supply lines, and an enemy
that refuses
to give up has led to a broad reassessment of U.S. military expectations
and
timelines by some top generals, the report said.
Some generals even see the potential threat of a drawn-out fight
that sucks
in more U.S. forces, the report said.
The report also quoted another unnamed senior general who dismissed
this
assessment as too pessimistic. He said that, in the short term, the
pessimists
will look right, but they will be proven wrong by mid-April.
"Within a week
to 10 days, we will find out about the mettle of the Republican Guard,"
the
general was quoted as saying.
