Admittedly....I only read the initial post in this thread....and I stopped at "the war in Iraq".
By default....any time someone says "the war in iraq"...everything else after that just kinda sounds like charley brown speak, to me.. waaah waaah waaaaaaaah wah wah.
Iraq....dear friends....is a battle...in our global war on terror. One, I suspect we will be fighting for the next 50 years...mostly because we decided to ignore that part of the world since the end of WW2.
Not sure about memory loss here....but I sure do remember President Bush standing at ground zero on 9-12 telling us that we will go after al queda anywhere and everywhere......and we will be fighting a pro active....and not a reactive, war.
Enjoy the last days of a man in office who does the right thing (most of the time...dont get me started on border control) and a man who gives no thought to polls.
As an aside....I learned how fickle the american people are during the gulf war...when the liberals screamed that bush was going to get us into a long and protracted war....he then took the time to promise the american people that the MOMENT the iraqis pulled out of Kuwait, the war was over...and THAT is exactly what he did. Then....those same people who protested the war.....changed their battle cry.....and opted to say "Bush didn't finish the job". then....years later ....his son goes in to do just that....and the liberals are anti-war again. which is it folks?
Here's my prediction........ once the honeymoon is over.....president obama calls for a draft when he realizes how deep we're actually in it.
interesting times indeed.
God bless all our service men and women around the world.
