If even neocons say the problem is the Bush administration's lack of management ability how can this war possibly be won?

Your editorialists attempt a very slick, facile and ultimately disingenuous and dishonest comparison between President Bush's & the neo-conservatives' decision to invade Iraq and what occurred on American soil as a result of secession and slavery. Perhaps as neo-conservatives you overplay your hand a bit too bluntly since by your reckoning and analogy Iraq was prior to invasion part of the US and under US federal control.

Like you I firmly believe in and support the US and the right of Israel to survive and thrive. But the real issue with Iraq appears to be the decision by President Bush, prodded by the neo-conservatives, to invade under false pretenses, miring us in an endless war that apparently cannot be won. By this logic if the only solution is military hegemony in every nation in the middle east and ultimately the world, the simple problem is that we do not have the resources or military manpower to accomplish that goal.

Enough cheap shots. Do you really think this is a war that can be won? Didn't a neoconservative say that the Bush administration is simply too incompetent to execute the war? So how can we possibly achieve victory?
