As long as our national borders remain wide open, I don’t think we are making a serious effort at the WOT. Building the largest US embassey in the entire world in Iraq tells me Bush has plans that he hasn’t yet revealed to us.
Your first point is certainly valid. Your second, a bit naive. We have maintained a presence in every nation we have ever liberated.... Iraq will be no different.
“Building the largest US embassey in the entire world in Iraq tells me Bush has plans that he hasn’t yet revealed to us.”
Uh huh.
Ever think that that embassy complex is that large so that the people stationed there don’t have to venture out and be shot at, car bombed or kidnapped and beheaded?
It’s supposed to be a self contained community with it’s own stores, recreation facilities, a medical station, a shooting range for the Marines that will be stationed there as well as housing for the diplomatic personnel and their families.
