He just had to say it, didn't he??

The U.S. was too strong to lose the Vietnam War too.

No plan, no leadership, no hope.

U.S. Military Too Strong To Lose Iraq War

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said on
Tuesday the U.S. military is too strong to lose the war in Iraq, but
ultimately political solutions will be needed to win.

"You've got a situation where it's not possible to lose militarily,"
Rumsfeld said. "It's also going to require more than military power to
prevail."

Rumsfeld, in comments to reporters at the Pentagon, said U.S. training
of security forces in Iraq had been "rushed" but that placing U.S.
trainers within the Iraqi police force would gradually boost Iraq's
ability to reduce violence on its own.

Still, he said, Iraq's parliament needs to resolve the issue of
federalism and create a unity government to squash the violence that
plagues much of Iraq and has frustrated U.S. efforts to begin
withdrawing troops.

"It's going to take all those things together," Rumsfeld said
