Once a couple of hundred thousand extra troops would have done the trick. Now nothing will help, which of course they realise (they must?).
It is now a question of who will wear the blame (Iraqis).The difference with Vietnam is that it took 30,000 US dead for the antiwar movement to take off, because Vietnam had a much better story.
They might get there yet but the grownups have come home, it seems.
