An elite team of officers advising US commander General David Petraeus in Baghdad has concluded the US has six months to win the war in Iraq - or face a Vietnam-style collapse in political and public support that could force the military into a hasty retreat.
The officers - combat veterans who are leading experts in counter-insurgency - are charged with implementing the "new way forward" strategy announced by president George Bush on January 10. The plan includes a controversial "surge" of 21,500 additional American troops to establish security in the Iraqi capital and Anbar province.

1. Oh we have no months.

Our chance probably expired 15 months or more ago.

You know I do think Petraeus is a good man - but I think only Jesus Christ could pull this one off.

Surge - what a crock of shit.

2. Regarding the Vietnam-style collapse, that ship sailed long ago.

3. Right. And, Chicago has only 6 months to win the 2007 Superbowl.

Or, should it be the 2003 Superbowl, since that's when the war was lost.
