"One of the downsides of Iraq is that this makes it much tougher to do this politically." I'm sorry, I don't understand your point.

Now that we are in the middle of a ten year nation-building exercise in Iraq, it will be tough for Bush to tell the nation that we need to launch a new invasion into Iran. The will is not there. But if did a Bush-I job on Iraq (read: inspect the WMD sites by force, but leave Saddam in power), our troops would be home now and Iran would be an easy sell.

Who said anything about an invasion of Iran? I certainly didn't. Read # 2012.

You are wrong about inspection and leaving Saddam in power! Even 20/20 hindsight doesn't make it.

Our troops are still in Iraq. We will deal with it, no ifs or buts, THESE ARE THE FACTS ON THE GROUND.

Whether the UN and the flip-flop liberal POV just before the war (inspection, containment, give Saddam more time, etc...) OR the liberal POV Before that (regime change, take Saddam out, the terrible WMDs, etc...) take your pick; they don't count now.

We simply have to untie our troops' hands and let them KILL the enemy whether in Iraq or Iran.

I think this will do it. I don't want to suggest a straight jacket again for your Pro-life Senators' comment.
