Somebody said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again
and again but expecting different results.  This man's story is the
definition of insanity: sending soldiers out to "patrol" who get blown
up.  And sending out some more.

There's a famous story about Vietnam combat veteran Col. Harry Summers
meeting his North Vietnamese combat counterpart after the war. He said
to him "we defeated you in every battle. We vanquished you on the
battlefield."  The North Vietnamese colonel said "that's true and it's
also irrelevant."

I have some ideas I can run by you about a decent way to get out, but
it doesn't matter because I wasn't elected to come up a solution nor
asked by Mr. Rumsfeld to design one.  In asking me to give one you
seem to reluctantly agree that this war, and it's current path,
doesn't make much sense.
