Interesting point, do you think that was part of the strategy? So as long as all those bases and things are established, we should take care of Syria too.

I do believe that we clearly identified the problem areas - despite what the media says - and, after being attacked, started taking down those target areas.

I also believe - despite what the media says - that we have achieved superb results with very few losses.

Heck, the old armchair experts predicted 2,000 - 5,000 casualties in the push for Baghdad alone, and media savants were solemnly muttering about "Stalingrad."

We kicked the Taliban clear out of Afghanistan, and decimated the ranks of AQ first in Afghanistan, and now in Iraq.

Before, Pakistan was our sworn enemy.
Now they are hunting down AQ and Taliban members and Killing them, or turning the survivors over to us.

Before, the entire Iraqi army was aimed against us.
Now thousands of trained Iraqis are fighting AQ and Syrian terrorists.

Now we have huge military bases squarely positioned in the ME, much to the horror of every Islamo terrorist in the world.

There is no credible threat to our military.

Are there problems? Of course there are. Many of them, and they aren't going to just fade away.

But to say that all of these facts are just simple coincidence strains logic. - But the media would have you believe that these are all, in fact, failures.

We have a score to settle with Iran, - and Syria - we are in position on both sides of Iran, and they are in real danger of meeting our armed forces in person.

When the 06 elections are over... well, think about what happened to Fallujah, and when it happened.
