"...Bush admin has not look at the lessons learned in Vietnam. The lessons learned there were to have an exit strategy..."
"...Keep in mind currently Iraq is the issue with regard to the Euro-Ami split..."
Two thoughts...
1)The 'exit strategy' is important but the most important thing is that if a nation must go to war, it must be with all the manpower it can muster. To plan to go piece-meal is to plan for failure.
2)The split with european nations - specifically France and Germany (Russia too) - was caused by thier refusal to stand united in the U(selessly)N(arcisistic) security(?) council. The vetoes of these countries was bought by the former Iraqi government with proceeds from the oil-for-food program.
They were BOUGHT, man! Your euro-liberal friends sold their votes, and the sick part is that this is normal for euro-politics! Just watch what happens to their 'union' over the next months, I will.
