The Second Front

Now Richard Myers, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, says in a classified report that the U.S. military's current commitments overseas may prevent it from adequately fighting future conflicts. Duh! Waging war on two fronts simultaneously has doomed armies from Napoleon to Hitler, so why should the United States be any different? Maybe the neocons running defense policy in the Bush Administration should have thought of this before embarking on the current, nation-building occupation of Iraq. At least Myers is honest. He's the one who admitted last week that the insurgency in Iraq hasn't lessened at all in the past year.
