Another horrible blunder in this whole debacle is the failure to properly define the enemy. How many times have we heard that we are at war with terrorism i.e. the war on terror -- and that is made to order to stick on to Iraqi insurgents. Terrorism is not the enemy -- it is a tactic -- a tool of the trade of the insurgents. In Vietnam did we say we were in a war against tunnels, guerrilla warfare, or fox holes? Of course not. It seems that our present president and his advisors are strategically less developed than the Vietnam war era commanders.

Without properly identifying and defining the enemy, the Green Zone is surely as vulnerable to a Saigonesque raid or Beiruit Marine Barracks bombing, both of which were an embarrassing punch in the nose to the U.S. -- so much that we could not recover from them because our citizens lost faith in the credibility of the administration to turn their plan into victory, or at least one they were willing to accept for a certain amount of time and bodies that required investing in.

I wouldn`t be surprised if some bold contingencies on the Green Zone have not been already drawn up or are in the works of being drawn up. The time to play that move is just depending on the mind of a chess player, and I would bet that Iran is the one who would be the hand that moved that piece without much care if it pointed back to them because they know that our public is not going to stand for a widening of the war.
