Nothing? are you sure about that? Is that what you really honestly believe?

....and so every other murderous thug in the world gets to move up one place in line. and why should Syria and Iran worry? we're stretched to the limit in Iraq, not to mention Afghanistan.
as for what i believe, it's what i believed about this from day one - nothing about the war on Iraq justifes the cost. it is an unwinnable, untenable position we are in....and a tragic waste of our country's resources.
btw, if there's a realistic exit strategy, let's hear it.

i know but it's actually one of your more interesting characteristics
do the math - 9/11 occurred 9 months after Bush took office in January 2003- by October 2003 we're in Afghanistan. when do you think all those soldiers enlisted? when were the funds appropriated for their training? when was the weapons and technology they used approved, purchased, tested, and deployed? you think all that happened after Bush took office? hardly - budget decisions for all that were made in prior years. for better or worse, the military that Bush deployed in Afghanistan was overwhelmingly the military that Clinton left him.
