#1 A "lightning" mission to last a year?

#2 Not three months, not six months is enough. Hmmm, how long would Col. Vollot give the Coalition in Iraq? 3 months is already too long.

#3 The little secret the colonel didn;t mention is that the force would be in country for more than three months if they are actually required to fire their weapons in anger.

#6 Wait till a few French (or even worse, British, God forbid) soldiers start coming home in bodybags...the outcry will ensure that they'll scoot soon enough. Of course, there are already calls in the UN for a "massive, long term, fully funded, fully logistically supported, fully authorized" military intervention with a mission of "social reconstruction"...in other words, get the US to do it.
