It is now safe to say, victory in Iraq is out of reach. Our military is extremely low on man power, and our equipment has worn out and been destroyed in Iraq’s hostile terrain. If George Dubya and Rumsfeld would have sent more troops from the outset of the war, and taxed the public sufficiently to support the costs of this war, the outcome may have been different. At this point however, the only thing stopping Iran from marching into Baghdad is our nuclear arsenal. The prospect of an emergency somewhere in the world requiring our military support is a very, very scary prospect.
