I thought it was perhaps (tongue in cheek)... especially the part about JPM (vbg).

...I don't think we'll be "in & out" in Iraq - quite the contrary actually.
We'll remain in the area as a stabilizing force/presence for the new regime in Iraq, for the Middle East, for Oil Prices (we can't afford the hit that $40-$60 Oil Prices would bring here)and will use Iraq (and it's Oil) as a longterm staging area for the ongoing (longterm) War on Terrorism.
And as far as snipers, bio booby-traps etc... let's hope that will be minimal and I truly expect the type of reaction that was seen with Mussolini... but, regardless of the cost, or threat - GW is literally (in his and the minds of many) on a mission from God, to wipe the threat of Global Terrorism, especially those rogue nations, or terrorists with nuclear, or bio-weapons and the will to, or the history of already having used them.
I don't think Bush, or any who support his policies; view Iraq, or the War on Terrorism as a short term, low risk, or low cost proposition...but, do view it as something that must be done, regardless of the costs political, or otherwise. |
