1. It used to be that US soldiers much preferred going to Afghanistan than Iraq

BTW, did we win in Iraq? And if so, what did we win?

Also, where is Osama bin Laden?

2. Near as I can tell what we won:

1.) We got rid of Saddam and his sons.
2.) We brought peace between Iraq and Iran.
3.) We gave birth to the new Kurdish state.

I think that's it.

3. Who cares about Saddam. What about Osama?

Greatest bait and switch in US history. I'll give Bush credit for that one.

4. Well, obviously, we did, we cared deeply about getting Saddam.

And just as clearly, we didn't really care a fig about getting bin Laden.

And it is worth asking why that was so, given that bin Laden is the guy we pinned 9/11 on, and that was the pretext for the whole long war boondoggle.

One might start to think that the whole public discussion about the war on terror was some sort of fabrication.

5. Of course it's a fabrication.

"We're a peace-loving people" said Bush, while imbedding the US in two wars with generational commitments. Now what? Just watch helplessly as the US hits the skids, predictably?

6. Rest in peace good soldiers and best to the families.
