I guess Messrs. Bush and Cheney have learned that lesson the hard way.

From CBS.com:

"Zinni believes this was a war the generals didn’t want – but it was a war the civilians wanted.

But he wasn’t the only former military leader with doubts about the invasion of Iraq. Former General and National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft, former Centcom Commander Norman Schwarzkopf, former NATO Commander Wesley Clark, and former Army Chief of Staff Eric Shinseki all voiced their reservations.

“I can't speak for all generals, certainly. But I know we felt that this situation was contained. Saddam was effectively contained. The no-fly, no-drive zones. The sanctions that were imposed on him,” says Zinni."

KIA in Iraq as of today: 793

All this "I love America, I love our service people," (not necessarily from you) sounds a bit hollow when you contemplate what's going on and yes, the KIA in Iraq totals 793 as of today.

People need to wake up.

Total Allied casualties on D-Day are estimated at 10,000, including 2500 dead. British casualties on D-Day have been estimated at approximately 2700. The Canadians lost 946 casualties. The US forces lost 6603 men.

That's one day.

Total fatalities in IRAQI FREEDOM have been astoundingly low.
