Nadine, the problems with Iraq was that Rummy thought it was not tough. He thought it was going to be a cakewalk, and that Iraqi oil money would pay for it to boot. Cheney was just as idiotic.

The entire war was screwed up royally from the start until now, and that is largely Bush's fault. The buck stops with him. There were even a few brave souls who tried to point out some of the issues early on, and Bush fired them (so much for his claimed loyalty!). His problem is that he can't figure out which ones to fire and which ones to listen to.

Nadine ....you have the data ...post it.

your statements have little meaning other than opinion otherwise.

to say that bushes ratings would have gone down after victory and peace in iraq is idle speculation.

as to your statement that the war on AQ "by definition" will be a Long War is nonsense in that your definition is merely rhetoric.
