I posted about Tuwaitha earlier - first the IAEA says the nuclear material isn't significant, so we were wrong to invade, then the nuclear material WAS significant, so we were wrong to let it be looted. It's a lovely little "gotcha" game. Y'all are good at playing games. Very smooth. But I am not too stupid to notice the violent disjunct between the two arguments. Message 20688379

Perfection is a very hard ideal to work for. Wars and real life cannot be judged against perfection, you have perhaps seen nintendo style victories with Kuwait, Afghanistan, push to baghdad to not realize that these are amazing military victories well above what the historical wars are about. Compared to WW1, WW2 (pick any battle), Korea, Vietnam, and compare the execution of those wars. So if you agonize over details like small amounts of low grade radioactive materials and ignore the total tonnage of ordinance destroyed by the coalition, it must be really painful for you that the car you drive does not deliver the fuel efficiency advertised in the manual.
