This was an "optional war" which the Bush administration has tried to paint as a vital part of the "war on terror". Afghanistan is 1/3rd larger than Iraq and has more people. It has been home to OBL and his training camps for over a decade now. That is common knowledge and no one disputes that fact. Therefore, what does Shrubbery do? He has a handful of soldiers in the home of OBL and the 911 terrorists and his admin no longer considers OBL their primary target? Every citizen of the US should be outraged. Shrubbery does not have a war on terrorism. He is attempting to exorcise the demons of OriginalBush at the expense of 10,000 US casualties, 400+ dead, likely 20,000 Iraqi dead and the depletion of Bill Clinton's surplus. Why aren't more people outraged? Here is the outrageous equation: Afghanistan - Acknowledged home to OBL arguably the most successful terrorist in modern history. Avowed enemy of secular governments and CONTINUING terrorist threat. Fluid border with NUCLEAR Pakistan an unstable, military dictatorship. Iraq - No known nuclear threat, no evidence of 911 or OBL ties, no imminent threat to anyone but long-suffering Iraqis. ---- With limited troop strength but a sympathetic world, Shrubbery choose to invade which one? Shrubbery has no war on terrorism, he is fighting his father's war at the expense of the rest of us. Why aren't more of us outraged?
