I said in an earlier post that one of the most unforgiveable things a country could do was commit its citizens to war, then just fool around with it instead of trying to win it as quickly as possible. Now comes this:
American and Iraqi forces have killed 104 insurgents in 452 raids nationwide since al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed last week, the U.S. military said.
Arrests, weapons seizures and money shortages are taking a heavy toll on al-Qaida's insurgency in Iraq, according to the three-page transcript released Thursday by the Iraqi government.
I think a fair question is: If we can make this big effort now, why in the world haven't we before?
