Capitol Hill Blue: Military Planners Tell Bush Iraq War 'Cannot be Won'

Capitol Hill Blue: Military Planners Tell Bush Iraq War 'Cannot be Won': "Yet while Bush remains stubbornly committed to the war, sources within the Pentagon say military planners tell the President the war cannot be won and the U.S. may have to look for a Vietnam-style withdrawal that will leave Iraq vulnerable to forces even more dangerous than the previous dictatorship of Saddam Hussein.

'Our present scenarios do not provide a successful outcome,' admits a senior military planner. 'We are not adequately equipped to prevail in this conflict.'

At the same time Thursday, the U.S. military announced in Iraq that four more service members had been killed in action but the 'official' military line is that American troops were making progress against insurgents.

'We will stay the course, we will complete the job in Iraq,' Bush said in Texas as a videotape by Ayman al-Zawahri, al-Qaida's No.2, was broadcast around the world."
