The BS over WMD -- the BS over Iraq as a priority in the "war on terror" -- the global opposition to the US doctrine of unilateral war -- all of these things put a thick cloud over the mission. To go to war on a pretext as thin as the one put forward by Bush is to ask for trouble. We've hashed and rehashed the WMD and "War On Terror" as means for what we're doing in Iran. No need to continue. Pragmatically speaking (and assuming that you agree we are at war with terrorists), where would you have us fight these terrorists. Personally, I think the coming together of terrorists (of all stripes), in Iraq, to be preferable to looking for them in every nook and cranny of the planet. And I suspect the military thinks the same.
