We are in an incredibly foreign land, dealing with guerilla tactics like terrorist bombings, insurgent ambushes, enemy fire from within the civilian population, an unstable ally in an "interim" government, no real exit strategy, etc. etc.
Again, I'm NOT saying this is going to be Vietnam.....however......

I'm just saying you jumped at the oppurtunity to dismiss Bradon's comparison and all I'm saying is the Iraq/Vietnam comparison is just as illogical.

....uh, no, no, and no. The UN isn't even in Iraq yet. Our damn president himself has asked for international involvement in Iraq. NOBODY should seriously be comparing the oil-for-food program to Haliburton. The role we and others want to see the UN play is primarily in the maintenance of elections in Iraq, providing aid, etc. Nobody on that list on the first page will be getting exclusive contracts for oil. And once again, important point here,
what is the alternative, sending more American troops for them to shoot at?

Just pointing out that the comparison is retarded.

The only problem of course being that you completely failed to do that.
