One thing I haven't seen any of the talking heads "pundits" etc. discuss is the absolute brilliance of us being in Iraq.
The strategic location of this country in the war on terror cannot be denied. Located next to Iran, a terrorist government, that is on the verge of civil war (guarrented to go to civil war if democracy is established in Iraq). Governed by a murdering despot it lent itself as the perfect location to set up a friendly government, a base if you will, to bring that backwards area of the world kicking and screaming into the 21st century. This is not to discount the fact that terrorist mercenaries have been pouring into the country to try and destabilize it only to killed by the thousands.
Perhaps a miltary strategist here could weigh in on the importance of not only taking the fight to the enemy, but actually picking the site of that fight and drawing the enemy to you. Which is exactly what we have done.
