Quagmire Watch
The Christian Science Monitor beat Johnny Apple to it this time. They have described Iraq's occupation as a quagmire only one month into the operation.
"A sense of quagmire hovers over the liberation that went sour. Fifteen thousand additional troops to help maintain order will bring the American troop level in Iraq to almost 160,000. That represents 40 percent of the Army's 10 active divisions and dims the hopes of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for an early reorganization of the military into smaller, more agile units."
Didn't Vietnam at least take a few years to become a quagmire? At this rate journalist would describe having to stand in line at McDonald's a quagmire.
