We're in a fight for our own survival in Iraq? Oh, come on, that's an absurd argument. I mean, it's a joke. Bush was able to get the approval of the American people for war in Iraq because of "slam dunk" intelligence that Saddam had stockpiled WMD and could not be trusted not to use them. I don't think 60% of the American people believe in Iraqi WMD anymore, nor that Saddam was behind 9/11. The war is over. There's no enemy left to fight with carriers and Humvees and jets. Congress isn't going to approve invading Syria or Iran based on our new improved "slam dunk" intelligence that this time, the WMD are there. Not in an election year, for sure. Not that Al Qaeda is going away, but the way to fight Al Qaeda will be doing it the European way, with cops and bankers and cryptologists, cooperating with Spain and France and Germany and Turkey. No more buckles to swash. The last hurrah. Done. Maybe China will get stroppy, but I doubt it.
