Having read most of this thread, as well as the potential troll who questions Iraq...I have a question

How has Iraq distracted the US from the war on Terror?

Is our Military unable to handle multiple encounters? No.

If it is a distration, I have to ask, where is it then that our troops should be? Iran? Syria? North Korea?

Are the same people that say "invading Iraq is a distraction" also suggesting we should have instead invaded Iran or Syria or North Korea? Knowing how leftists think, the answer is of course NO in which case their argument is partisan, pinko bullshnit.

"Is our Military unable to handle multiple encounters? No."

The Army is stretched very thin right now. This isn't even up for debate. Even the White house will admit this. Invading and occupying Iran or North Korea isn't even an option right now without instituting a draft. This is because it takes troops on the ground to occupy a country.

Thankfully our Navy and Air Force still have resources to spare. We are not defenseless.

I am simply pointing out the truth. Sorry if it offends you.
