Though I agree with many of the posters here ... Bush is naive and his administration is doing a poor job in Iraq ... AND Bush is doing a piss poor job of selling this war to the american people ... the name we put on why we went there is irrelevant.

Central Asia cannot be ceded to the islamists. Iraq was a good place to start. We need to see the real threat and put a LOT more force on it. Get rid of the political generals and put war fighters in there. The cause is as great as the cause in WWII ... perhaps greater. We will be in the Dark Ages if Central Asia goes down the tubes. It will take a draft and millions of soldiers if we fail in Iraq and Iran is allowed to take over the whole area.

This is what irritates me the most. This should have been considered as PART of the WOT and planned for every bit as much as the actual military operations. Maybe it was planned for, but it was a pretty crappy job if so.
