Everything to do with the Powell Doctrine. If we had followed it we would have few troops right now in the Middle East, 1000's of soldiers still alive and 10's of thousands physically and mentally healthy, public coffers in much better shape, and the world would be appreciably a better place.

They followed the exact opposite of the Powell doctrine in both places...possibly for different reasons. Iraq, the wrong war, was "Rumsfelded" for nearly 5 years, and Afghanistan became orphaned for 7, leaving there an even worst mess for Obama to untangle...while he is trying to also fix the economic disaster they left behind...and cheney has the balls to flap his gums on a daily basis...it's enough to drive a peace loving human to waterboard the sonofabitch.
