I thought Afghanistan was going to be our next Viet Nam? If Iraq goes
a week longer will it be Viet Nam? Two weeks? How long does it have
to go before it becomes Viet Nam? If a reporterette who was reporting
on the budget "crisis" last month and the child care "crisis" the month before
that now comes out and says the 7-day old war isn't going well, what's that
worth?

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

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.
