The War, of course

Sometimes is seems that the government is shooting in the dark when it comes to the Iraq War. There are so many different opinions, and each one is tried. The original plan, the surge, and now the new withdrawal. There is so much talk about how this is a different kind of war; handbooks have been written on how to fight it. So, why exactly is America failing to complete the mission in Iraq? Has it been a failure in the civil leadership? Military planning? It will be many years before historians can be objective enough about the war to actually study what happened and why it happened. So well all can look forward to analyses of these times, and then maybe we can find out how to change America for the better.
