1 word: Vietnam. Think about the situation where the people we're said to have been protecting don't want us there and we're in the middle of a civil war. We're not going to win in Iraq, just like we lost in Vietnam.
We'll probably pull out of Iraq in 2008 when Barak Obama, Johnny Edwards, Hillary Clinton, or Ron Paul wins.
That's right. Suck it, Tancredo.

It seems to me that some people had an unrealistic expectation that our enemy would not respond and adapt to our strategy and tactics. We are fighting a real war against real enemies.
Can anyone cite an historical war that went in exact accordance to a plan laid out in advance? |
So we're still on that 9/11 Iraq thing? Is this 2003?

This is the deceptive language of the Bush administration, and it's stupid. Iraq clearly had nothing to do with 9/11, and the only weak ass connection to terrorism is... wait for it... paying Palestinian suicide bombers! And guess what? They never got paid. Iraq has nothing to do with terrorism.
It seems people draw an unreasonable association between the 'war on terror' and the war in Iraq. We are in a civil war in Iraq, and we're trying to located and disable radical militants. Two separate causes. Two separate fuck-ups.
