Strategeric Question

Simple trig:

• If America's military strategy is to go into battle outnumbering the enemy 10 to 1,
• and if Iraq has 30,000,000 citizens (less a few thousand)
• then, shouldn't we have 300,000,000 soldiers in Iraq?

My point is that, Poland's contribution aside, we don't have many non-enemies there.

We lost Falluja and now Ramadi. Didn't we learn in Vietnam that we can't win a war against "a people?" From the New York Times:

. . . insurgents here do not hold well-defined territory, as they do in Falluja. They have instead blended into the population and conduct hit-and-run strikes . . .

Anthony told me during our IM make-out session yesterday that any military revolt will be struck down in America. I don't know--Iraq may be setting precedent.

I'm just waiting for Castro to make me a Colonel.
