#1 We have a community organizer making military decisions and deciding tactics.
Do Never Announce a Withdrawal Date In Advance
This will be the same exact ending as Vietnam.
And it didn't need to be that way.

God help us.

#2 No way will it end like Vietnam. It took a conventional military invasion by the Communists and the withdrawal of US air cover for the SVA to produce that outcome. These cocksuckers in Iraq are like a boil on the butt. Painful but not a serious threat to the body.

#3 Agree with #2, Iran does NOT have the heavy tank divisions to do an invasion like the NVA did in 1975; Turkey almost does. As far as the terrorist cells are concerned, all that they may accomplish is the ethnic cleansing of Sunnis from Iraq : Kurds and Shias have indicated that if there are no Sunnis, there is no problem. And the Shias have shown no mercy towards Iranian-supported terrorist cells.
