Indeed the current middle east theatre is just a distraction... Problem is Bush feels by sending more troops over he will be able to quell a war that is no longer limited to that theatre.
America is still using a tactic of "cut off the head and the body will die" against the terrorist cells which just doesnt seem to work. The groups regenerate quicker then the americans can neutralize them and theres always a new head to replace the old.
And with every casualty the terrorists take they become more determined to win
The war is easily turning into another vietnam. the most advanced technology and sheer force is still brought to a halt by an enemy who can use his home turf and gurrila tactics to their advantage..... i mean what good is a multimillion dollar gunship against a enemy that conseals themselves in the civilian population
