Well Sir Galt, for once I stand corrected and respect your non W support. I just sensed that based on your typical conservative stance that you were a W Kool-Aid drinker.
And for the record, I am anything but anti-war. Hell, people like Arpi believe I'm into all kinds of covert shit. That was years ago when slitting Muslim throats wasn't all the rage that it is today. And other than a few consulting opportunities on some Clinton Administration task forces, I have been out of that life for some time (remember your thread about your West Wing tour and the Sit Room (pfffft). And no it's nothing like you see on TV's West Wing. However the chair installed by Nixon and the story behind it is a real hoot).
My whole issue with the Iraq war was it should never have been fought. Regardless of where you sit on the political fence, we broke all the rules of why we should go to war. We continue to break them by not developing an exit stategy. The reason we don't is W wants a force immediatly deployable in the area. He can move anywhere he wants without the approval of Congress. He knows once he moves, Congress has no choice but to support him. This is why I say, the Middle East war hasn't even begun to take shape.
