"IMO, if a Chuck Hagel or a John McCain were President we would NOT be in the mess we're in over in Iraq today "

I agree but not necessarily for the same reason. You probably believe they would have not gone to war while i believe they would have conducted the operation far better. Rummys war on the cheap which is a doctrine of modern war and not either neocon or realist fp ideology is what has us in this mess today. I will leave the other issues alone for now--whether removing saddam was necessary with or without wmds and if necessary what the goals should have been. Suffice it to say that this team's war on the cheap is a flop even if we get things back together these folks screwed up big time. mike
PS Now what would kerrys team have done? and will do from here? This is so unclear to me it offsets my urge to throw the bums out starting with the president. Kerry has failed to answer my questions and leaves me with the option that bush brings in a new team. Man this election is all about grasping at straws for both sides. mike
