I heard this pointed out on liberal talk radio last night, from a Sunday Times on the army's shift from invasion to peacekeeping and reconstruction:
The mission remains as important as the battles that preceded it, for if some order is not brought to Iraq and the economy restored to a functioning state, the war these men fought so hard to win may seem to have been in vain.

Colonel Grimsley puts it in a larger, political context, understanding the importance of success in Iraq for President Bush and his re-election campaign next year.

"They have invested everything in this," he said.

For the soldiers, this is little solace.
No kidding.
