The Dubster Can Run, But He Can't Hide

The Dubster sounds more and more desperate and pathetic. He is the war president and the chickens have come home to roost. Conventional armies arrayed against guerrilla fighters have come a cropper over and over again. The U.S. in the Philippines in the early 1900s. The French in both Indochina and Algeria. The U.S. again in Vietnam. Make no mistake about it. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. The Trickster had his Macster (McNamara) and The Dubster has his Rumster (Rumsfeld). The Secretaries of Defense during both insurgencies could not reverse the truism that conventional forces cannot prevail over guerrilla fighters. Body counts didn't work in Nam and killing Zarqawi is not going to work in Iraq. The terror went on in Nam and continues In Iraq. If this is (fair & balanced) historical amnesia, so be it.
