It's not a matter of "beating" them. It's a matter of occupation. If we
wanted to just "beat" them we would have done, by any means necessary.

Harry Truman, decided it was time to just "beat" the Japanese once and for
all, , and it was so.
Boom once. Boom twice.  War over.

But an invasion, and protraced occupation takes a simple "beating" off the
table.  Contractors are making billions.  The more that is destroyed, the
more they have to rebuild. The more the insurgents spread, the more private
security contracts are handed out. The more oil fileds are sabotaged, the
more private security money is pumped into  it.

Bush and company knew, there would never be flowers and candy. They knew the
only "mission acomplished" was the invasion, and the occupation was under
way. They knew Radical Islam would appear to try and control Iraq after we
they defeated the Republican Guard. They counted on it, so we could have a
reason to stay, build permanent Militray Bases, put in a Green Zone, and let
the blood flow.

They always knew where to go and grab Saddam. They just did it to early in
the campaign. They played a big card to early.

American casualties are nothing to them, but an essential part of their
plan. They dont give a damn about how many innocent people they slaughter,
because they think they will never have to answer for them, other than
saying "shit happens.

"Beating these people" would be the easy part. The hard part is coming up
with excuses why we arent, and why we wont, and explaining why it will take
5, 8, 10, 12 years to happen.

Bagdhad Central Command, will be a good, safe zone, while the reats of the
country stays in chaos.

During the Vietnam War, we had some places where you could go, and not
realize there was a war going on. When the American military puts the "fix"
in, it comes with a lot of experience.
