Our Mission in Iraq has mutated
"One of the oddest features of our strange, strange war in Iraq is that we're still trying to figure out the mission. Oil? Religious zealotry? Revenge? Glory? What?"

1. Great Read!
Thanks for posting....

I like this...at the end...

{i]But if we leave now or in five years, the result in Iraq will be just the same. The primary difference would be in the length of the casualty list.

So yes, there are people undermining our troops. But those of us seeking to bring them home now are not among them

4. Everything else is window dressing and speculation.
The war on Iraq is strictly abou picking an opponent, not too big, not too small.

That opponent will be destroyed.

The world will get the message that the rules have changed.

Except that Iraq hasn't rolled over and the rest of the world hasn't fallen into line.
