two correspondents in the field, one of them Jewish, think of it as an effort well on its way, one of them saying that it will be over fast.

Just curious Ebbie, as to why you think it's relevant whether a reporter is Jewish?

BTW, according to polls published in the Jewish press, the American Jewish community supports the war, and opposes the war, in almost identical percentages as the general population.

Calling attention to someone's religion, when it is not relevant to the question at hand, is a tactic of someone out to create or reenforce hatred.
