> overwhelming victory, another quagmire fighting a Doc, I want to impose upon you for a second to object to the description of the Iraq engagement as a "quagmire". IMO it is more accurate to describe Iraq as a "tar baby". In a quagmire you just get stuck and sink into it. With a tar baby, you get stuck, and even if you are able to disengage the tar is stuck to you and won't come off. If we could look forward to a disengagement that would not follow us around for years (as if we were coated with Teflon), "quagmire" might be more accurate. xponent Brer' Rabbit Done Foxed Us Again Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
