We just got the biggest Al Quaeda fish short of OBL.

We get Saddam Hussein and get his Iraqi intelligence files and we will have hooks into almost all the terror networks.

Victory is at hand. We just have to push our way into Iraq.

Iran can be taken care of through support of democracy and human rights in Iran. The Theocrats of Tehrana are hated by their own people, just as saddam Hussein is hated by his own people. IMHO, we dont need to do anything militarily in Iran.

"And we have to pacify the Shi'ites in the South and disarm them immediately after we occupy Baghdad." hmmm. that sounds like UN thinking, only lead to troulbe. the last man to disarm the Shiites was Saddam Hussein. They need FREEDOM not DISARMAMENT.

oh yeah, and when the Shiites were fighting Saddam and trying to liberate their own country, the US stood by while Saddam killed 30,000 shiites and an equal number of kurds, in 1991.
the rebels were close to winning, though.

You might think that those of us who believe in 2nd amendment rights for Americans might see why disarming people may leave them susceptible to be victims to dictatorship.

Dont fear freedom for people.

I sadly disagree on Iran. As long as Russia is enabling the creation of a nuclear weapons production program, Iran will become the North Korea of the Mideast. There are bigger forces at play and geopolitics, especially relating to the antics of the ChiComs and Ruskies, can not ever be dismissed out of hand.
