Again, VDH is spot on. Americans are impatient, especially when it is apparent that mistakes have been made. Of course, the MSM will always beat the "quagmire" drum when our military is involved, unless it is one of those humanitarian interventions that Clinton was so fond of.
If the U.S. people had known in 2002-03 that Congress was considering authorization for a military campaign that would eventually see U.S. soldiers killed and maimed on a daily basis -- more than four years later -- in a civil conflict in support of an Islamic government in Iraq (and a socialist one at that), the Bush administration would have been luck to scrape together 25 votes between both Houses of Congress on that "war resolution."

True. It's also worth noting that the so-called "neo-conservative" elements in the U.S. Department of Defense who were the driving force behind the U.S. invasion of Iraq were among the only "Republicans" to support Clinton's disgraceful military intervention in the Balkans in 1999.
If you haven't figured this out yet from the tone of my post, I don't trust any of those f#%&ers.
