Lane3;

But it would depend on the cost, risks, and rewards of all the alternatives and their probabilities of success.

Yes of course - great statement as is the rest of your post. What you ask is the exact questions that needed to be asked before we invaded. That is to look at and see the entire big picture. These are the cost, risks and rewards that should have been asked by Hillary and McCain - before we went in not after. To give either McCain or Hillary a pass on their original judgement and now expect they will now get it right makes no sense to me. The argument that they were just giving Bush the authority never expecting him to use it is one of the most bogus arguments shrouding the debate on this war. Should poor judgement be rewarded? I don't think it should.

If you listen to Obama speeches and listen to those who know him well and read his book, you realize that unlike those with a narrow single track mind with blinders on unable to see the big picture, - Obama see's the big picture. Obama took a stance that was immensely unpopular at the time - he will ask those questions you ask and is now parroted by Clinton when he originally said ....."we need to be as careful getting out as we were reckless getting in".
