Until then, I don't see the need to explain how half-assed efforts usually do nothing but encourage your enemies. What are you talking about? Iraq has done nothing to us. What are you prescribing...that we go around the world half cocked beating up on weaker nations to make a point about how tough we are? I understood the point. Reagan ran away from lebanon immediately after the bombing of our marine barracks there. That single act has been mentioned by OBL as evidence of American weakness as has the retreat from Somalia during Clinton's adminstration. Bush the first chose to build a base in SA and that has now been dismantled, because it is viewed as a major irritant to OBL and his followers. How does that fit your construct of half assed efforts? OBL got what he wanted, didn't he? A republican president started the mess and his son perpetuates it, according to your precepts. It was wrong to build a base there and it is right to take it down, but did we need to go through Iraq to get it done? No need to mention the lies to the country and the innocent people killed in the process, and our soldiers dying 1 a day now there. Al
