 I agree.

 However I think it was all a stupid waste to begin with when all of the effort, expense and lives that have gone into invading and occupying Iraq could have been better spent boosting the real war against terrorism in Afghanistan and Pakistan.


what leads you to believe that operations conducted in iraq significantly impacted ability to conduct operations in afghanistan?

  I never said it impacted the ability to conduct operations. I said invading Iraq did not help the war on terrorism and the resources would have been better spent in Afghanistan.

 The amount of US troops helping to comb the countryside for Taliban and AQ is nothing compared to the numbers stationed in Iraq.  This has delayed the ability of our Fuhrer in being able to declare "missun" accomplished and it has left far too many terrorists free to do as they just about please.

not to the left - any success this President has at anything is spun by the left as a failure

when hatred of one dictates you to call him "Fuhrer", anything of any sense out of the same mouth is impossible

I think our militay is large enough to handle both "wars" easily
more ppl in afghan does not mean quicker victory. just as in iraq, the plan is to let the locals handle it, not just flood the place with more 'evil" americans. i support and trust this admins handling of the situation - now and through 2008 :)

most of units involved in attack on iraq would never be deployed to afghanistan. exceptions are 82 ab 101 aa. most spec ops asset deployed to iraq were available again for afghanistan shortly after iraq army defeated. 82 + 101 could be used in afghanistan but "plenty" of top rate lt inf available and deployed from several countries. you say it not help war on terror but would you rather have terrorist now operating in iraq against us military operating elsewhere maybe against softer targets?

Why would they not have been deployed to Afghanistan?  After alll so many seem to say that we invaded Iraq as a response to 9/11 and as part of the war on terrorims?  So why wouldn't they have been useful in Afghanistan or even Pakistan.



"would you rather have terrorist now operating in iraq against us military operating elsewhere maybe against softer targets?"

 What? Do you imagine the terrorists would have ignored the US forces in Afghanistan? I don't. Afghanistan would have been the focal point.  We already had forces in Afghanistan with all the terrorists (and thier head leaders!) they could handle and more.  
 IMO there was no need to have opened another bogus "front" that only helped to trash our standing with the global community and creating even more ill will towards the US.
 There are now even more "extremists" intent on doing any harm they can against the US and it's military because the "Western" invasion of Iraq appears to the Muslim world to be another modern day version of the Crusades with the aim of subjugating and controlling the Middle East.

I supported the removal of Hussein in 91.  I supported it in 03 and Im pleased to say it has happened.  The deal in Iraq is the most important thing this country has done since it peacefully defeated the USSR.
