Not sure which channel you were watching but the media called in question if the war was unwinable well before Bagdhad fell. Anyone remember the lack of supplies, ambushed supply trains, need for more troops etc the media harped about.The Vietnam retoric kicked off before the ground war really even began it was only silenced for a while after the two probes in force ran through Baghad. and it fell shortly there after.
