I don't know about you...but May 3, 2003 ring a bell? Who's brilliant idea was that? Yes, had the banner been true - but it wasn't then, and it certainly isn't now.
From that point on, only a lukewarm effort was made to paint an accurate picture of Iraq came from the administration. Only excuses and "I have faith in my generals". I know quite a few people who have served in Iraq, and there is FAR more progress that has been made that has received ZERO press or attention, and hasn't even been highlited by the administration.
The entire WOT has been conducted in such a "civilized" manner (I am holding back puke trying to actually type that...) trying to be PC, and allowing direct treason to go on in the press and in the open.
My only second guessing in the WOT has been if we have given it all we could, or if we have fought such a limited war that we have not stopped anything.
