host, I'd say it's another example of politicians trying to be generals. It happened in Vietnam, it happened here. Of course politicians *need* to control the military, but they shouldn't launch or stop an attack against the advice from the commanders in the field, *unless* the political situation absolutely demands it. I doubt this was the case during the first attack.

I just hope history doesn't repeat itself. This time will be much more bloody than the first attack, and the next one will be even worse.
