1:21:11
The United States just plannin' on walkin' in here
1:21:13
like it was gonna be easy and all but,
1:21:15
it's not that easy to conquer a country, is it?
1:21:26
The renewed battle for control of Iraq raged
1:21:28
for fourth day today with street clashes
1:21:31
in nearly every corner of the country.
1:21:33
Iraq could become, quote, another Vietnam.
1:21:36
Officials they see evidence
1:21:37
that Sunni and Shite extremists might be joining forces.
1:21:41
They're not happy they're occupied.
1:21:44
I wouldn't be happy if I were occupied either.
1:21:56
Two Japanes aid workers and a journalist kidnapped
1:21:59
by men calling themselves the Mujhadeen Squadrons.
1:22:03
They've threatened to burn these hostages alive
1:22:05
if Japan does not withdraw its troops from Iraq
1:22:08
within three days.
1:22:10
What's happened?
1:22:12
Well, they attacked our convoy.
1:22:21
The Pentagon might keep up to twenty-four thousand troops
1:22:24
in combat beyond their tour.
1:22:26
I know our numbers in the military have gone down.
1:22:28
They talk about retention.
1:22:31
You never really expect to be deployed this long.
1:22:35
I don't think anybody did.
1:22:37
I don't have any clue as to why we're still in Iraq.
1:22:39
If Donald Rumsfeld was here,
1:22:41
I'd ask him for his resignation.
1:22:44
With the war not going as planned,
1:22:47
and the military in need of many more troops,
1:22:50
where would they find the new recruits?
1:22:53
Military experts say three times the 120,000 US troops
1:22:57
now deployed would be needed
1:22:58
to pacify and rebuild the country.
