War In Iraq = Whack-a-Mole

Okay, so U.S. forces have cleared out Fallujah only to have the insurgents pop up in Mosul. So now we're gonna clear out Mosul. This could go on a long time. In fact, as Jerimiah has said, this could turn out to be a big version of "whack-a-mole." You know the game, you stand there with a mallet and wait for a "mole" to pop its head up and then you whack it. Unfortunately, one doesn't really "win" a game of whack-a-mole. Its a timed game. The moles will continue to pop up as long as you stand there and put quarters in the machine. The insurgency in Iraq is the same way. As long as we're there, the insurgency will pop up to fight us. I hope the American people get tired of this very soon and that they will tell Bush to get out of Iraq and focus on the war on terror, which is more important than the war in Iraq.
