Well, President Bush finally admitted it. We're not winning the war in Iraq. Which seems really really unlikely considering our military prowess and the economic advantages we have.
So I started thikning of the war like a chess game. On our side, an extremely rich and powerful king, with pawns replaced by Queens and Knights. (our airforce and smart bombs) The other side has no Queen, the king is locked up and unable to move, and only has pawns and bishops left on the table. But somehow as we try to build up the Rooks and create a Strong second line, their pawns keep slipping through and blowing them up.
The problem is not the front line, our soldiers are among the most committed, well trained, and well equipped soldiers in history.
The problem is clearly the strategy. we need to get better players.
