Irene, I must confess that I don't spend huge amounts of time watching the news on TV, but my wife does and she frequently shows me clips of military people describing how well things are going in Iraq. I've seen those clips, but I haven't seen the ones you are referring to; so I can't comment on them.

What do you think of the military saying this war can't be won militarily?
