Hell, we didn't really do it under Bush who actually wanted to defend us. With the mentality of the times, we would lose another WWI or WWII - everyone's so concerned about collateral damage they won't allow the wholesale destruction of combatants.
The way I see it, Bush had two problems. He had to deal with too many "doves' and not enough "hawks" in the military to get the job done right. He also had the commie media's constant presence in the war zones, crying and whining to the bleeding hearts.
With Hussein at the helm, we have even more "doves" in charge. The ROEs are worse than ever for our troops, which is why so many more have been lost in Afghanistan.
I don't know that I want him sending more of our men and women into another war zone for that reason.
Another WW with today's mentality, this country is toast.
