"What the hell is going on? Was all that intel wrong? Was regime change bad policy? I have no clue what is happening."
We are at war! It is a different kind of war than we have ever fought before.Until we get a handle on the terrorist the administration will probably keep a handle on the facts, intelligence etc. With our military in harms way, certainly hope they continue to do so, until the war is over. In WWII "loose lips sinks ships" was heard often. Some materials released today would have been considered treason then. Are you aware that the Japanese code had been broken and we were listening in....? Lives were lost because it wasn't made public knowledge, but more lives would have been lost if they changed the code and we didn't know what they were planning. It's a game of chess, you lose a pawn or two to save the King. By the way, Your mission is: I have hidden a five # bag of sugar in Indiana. It may be in a building, buried underground,or in the middle of the Wabash river, hidden in a cave in southern Indiana, or a coal mine ...If you chose to take the mission you will have one year to find it. If you don't find it am I a liar? Did the sugar never exist? (Hint they're still looking for the Reno Brothers' buried treasure in our county.....never have found it. It just disappeared.....If you find it I'll take half!)

The war in Iraq was the same old kind of war. Invade, overthrow and occupy. Nothing new there.

That's pretty convenient. Any time we don't hear what we want to hear, it's only because it's a secret, for our own good. I am sure you'd have given der schlickmeister the same benefit of the doubt.

By the way, there are massive stockpiles of sugar in Indiana. We know it's there. Here's some satelite photos. We're going to invade, overthrow the government and occupy Indiana til we find it....
..fast forward 9 months...
Our chief sugar inspector tells us our spies f'd up. There's no sugar stockpiles. But hey, the Indianan people are free! Isn't that great? Ok, let's have an investigation. Next problem?
