That's an excellent article, Mr. Gerg. Much more reasonable than some of the blogs I've seen claiming Bush is Hitler reincarnate! If there was a way to check, one would find I was none too thrilled that this war in Iraq was started. But, now that were committed, we have to see it through to some sort of semi-satisfactory concluesion. Even Mr. Kerry has sent we can't cut and run.

I'm a bit puzzled by the Dems claim that the war in Iraq has hurt the hunt for Osama & Al Queda. From a tactical point of view, more troops in Afganistan are unnecessary, as the war shifted from conventional regime change to rural guerilla warfare. From a strategic point of view, less is more in that Spec-Ops troops, with proper logistical support, are pretty much all that is needed now, with the light mountain division, (10TH?), as back-up for regional flare ups.
