Bush is no closer to overcoming either Al Qaeda or the Iraqis than he was 4 years ago. They've only taken on different forms. He's incompetent. The action is despicable.

"pissing off the Iraqis"??
Those of us who are a little older remember well the shock when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, not to mention all the other people that maniac killed.
Want me to go down the list of why that man needed to be taken out?
And quit playing the "Vietnam" card, because it doesn't apply, and yes, Bush is MUCH closer.
Bush is doing a tough job that won't be accomplished by hand-wringing or half measures.
If anything, Vietnam was lost by attitudes like yours, which prevented Johnson from doing what needed to be done early on. So thanks, but no thanks. You can keep Kerry, because if he gets in I can totally see another Vietnam as we pull half assed out of Iraq and fail to answer attacks from extremists with the force necessary to destroy them.
