"...an essential part of American warfare..."

Well, I've never said that and I'm not sure who has. I haven't referred to it as anything better than stupidity. But I also firmly believe it was not just as bad, just as pervasive, and just as systemic than the geniunely horrific things the Baathists themselves were guilty of, so I don't believe our efforts or our presence in Iraq is suddenly invalidated by it.

You seem to be setting up straw men, naming them bland or ya'll or whomever, putting words in their mouth, and then knocking them down on the basis of what you claim they are really saying. I always regarded you as pretty sharp, now you seem to be deliberately misrepresenting people and their positions.

The reason you are suddenly doing this is what I really don't understand. But like I said, I'm not sure it matters.
