So you are one of those believing a four year war costing 3,000 lives is badly run? Thank God you weren't not around when an HOUR'S time saw more deaths in some battles. Or when taking small islands killed TWICE as many men.
My God the media's brainwashing is almost complete.
NO, You may be brainwashed. Heck I know you are one of the brainwashed. We should have had BUSINESS FINISHED in Iraq a couple of year ago and our troops home. But someone just had to Build A Nation. War? How about this. Take Iraq out to the point they can not be a military threat for the next 4-5 decades. You don't hear the media saying that now do you? Of course you don't.
For Iraq to not be a threat the will to fight must be eliminated. You will not ever accomplish that via nation building especially in a nation where three tribes hate each other to the point of death. We do not owe Iraq a democracy we owe them a good old fashioned country tail beating or we owe them nothing at all. Our current leaders are clueless as to what war is and what it requires.
Now we are involved in a war approaching the number of years we took on and defeated two major world powers. Go read Bush's comments in the October 2000 debate in Boston and read what Bush said about war. Read what he said then see what he did. Where's the help he said our military needed? He's spending it on DEM social programs.
