I agree about it being a hard, thankless job. Damned if ya do, damned if ya don't. But bringing up Internet Al and Jokemaster Kerry, both men who HAVE faced combat and all it's horror's up close and personal like, and comparing them to a guy who turned tail and ran to Daddy to protect him was a wrong thing to do.

I really doubt if they would have been as casual about sending our people off to die or worse for what I believe was revenge. Again, IMHO, we had absolutely NO reason what so ever to enter Iraq when we did. That diverted much needed resources from Afganistan.

Given the nature of the beast, I'm sure that Saddam would have given us plenty of reason to squash him at a later date, when we would have been able to enjoy the co-operation and respect of the rest of the world as we did with our response to 911.

At the time we invaded Iraq, Saddam wasn't even his usual mouthy self. He was being quite (for him). There were NO WMD's. He wasn't butchering his own people enmass as before (after Desert Storm). He was even keeping Iran and the fundimentalist at bay.

Now we're stuck there. What to do? I haven't a clue. I just hope whoever is the next pres don't pull another Nixon "Peace With Honor" BS move. Where's Teddy Roosevelt when ya need him?

Later
