James Webb's Somber Appraisal of the War to Date

Mr. Webb has a background in Vietnam that qualifies him to make this assessment, particularly in light of the suicide taxi bombing today that killed four soldiers. If the Iraqis fight to defend their homeland or if the irregulars and Fedayeen Saddam are able to threaten and intimidate the populace to prevent an uprising of the Shiia, then this will be a tough go. Nevertheless, if there are WMD, then we must do it. If WMDs are not found, this will be a tragic mistake.
