It's a bridgehead against the terrorists. A 'target of opportunity'.
We picked the time and place for the battle, chose ground we want to fight on. We took the battle *to* the enemy, and have now not been attacked on our soil in years.
The Iraq war is a cause celeb for the terrorists. They all want to go fight there. This is a *brilliant* and successful strategy.
This I agree with.. Cake walk is a bit much. But in principle I agree that we are not "losing"..

Cake walk is a bit much. So I gather, but that amazes me.
"Ma'am, your son died fighting the enemy. But we defeated the enemy in a cake-walk."
How, in God's name, is that in any way an insult???
