Notwithstanding your years of military service, of which I am both respectful and grateful, the sooner our soldiers get to Baghdad the longer they'll have to stay in Baghdad, and many more behind them.

What's your time estimate for an occupation force without interference? What's your time estimate for an occupation force with interference?

And let me qualify what I mean by "interference" by suggesting that you examine recent reports relative to the populational behavior in countries like Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey without the influences of Al Qaeda. And when add in those influences what then will the "interference" become like for our soldiers who took Baghdad?

So we should do the job even if it doesn't need to be done, so we can get the job done. That's just so odd. You'd rather go to war, than avoid it. Utterly bizarre. It's like you're from another planet.
