Watch: While I was fishing on my boat, I ran across an article: Military admits failure in Baghdad Saturday October 21, 2006 By Rupert Cornwell WASHINGTON - As President George W. Bush for the first time drew parallels between Iraq and Vietnam, US commanders publicly admitted yesterday that the two-month joint US-Iraqi drive to end the violence in Baghdad had to all intents and purposes failed. The grim assessment, by the US military spokesman Major General William Caldwell, came as at least 38 Iraqis were killed in bombings in the north of the country, and the Pentagon announced that the death toll for the month had reached 73. October is shaping up as the deadliest for US troops in almost two years as the overall death toll since the March 2003 invasion approaches 2800. The Baghdad security effort, announced amid much fanfare in August, "did not meet our overall expectations" and the latest surge in violence, over Ramadan, had been "disheartening", Major General Caldwell said. Violence across the country had risen by at least 20 per cent in the first three weeks of the holy month compared to the previous three weeks. He said security measures were now being "re-focused". The top US commander in Iraq, General George Casey, was expected to present a revised plan within weeks. Caldwell explicitly linked the bloodshed with the impending US mid-term elections, in which Bush's Republicans are facing major losses. The same point was made by the President, who is under intensifying pressure, from several senior Republicans as well as Democrats, to change his strategy in Iraq. It "could be right," Bush acknowledged in an interview with ABC News, that the violence in Iraq was the equivalent of the 1968 Tet Offensive mounted by the North Vietnamese that helped turn US public opinion against the Vietnam War. "There's certainly a stepped-up level of violence," the President said, "and we're heading into an election." Yesterday the White House was playing down the remarks, stressing that Bush did not mean to imply that a similar turning point in the Iraq war had arrived. "We don't think there's been a flip-over point," Tony Snow, the President's spokesman, told reporters. "From ... the standpoint of this Administration, we're going to continue pursuing victory aggressively." Nonetheless the allusion to the Tet Offensive was a real departure for Bush, who hitherto has refused to accept any similarities between Iraq and the war in Vietnam, which lasted eight years and took more than 50,000 American lives. It was also an indication of how an ever more unpopular war has become an albatross around Republican candidates' necks in their struggle to retain control of Congress at the November 7 election. An unprecedented 35 per cent of registered voters plan to cast their ballot to express opposition to Bush, against 18 per cent who said they would vote to support the President |

Quite a bit, actually. If you knew that, why did you need to ask? |

Years ago, when they built ships in the great lakes, they often had to
be towed down the ways, (no tide, you know) or even along canals to their final destination. You might enjoy this typical view of the towing apparatus employed at the time. http://tinyurl.com/yhhrke |
