"I guess it is pointless after all this time that we aren't at war with Iraq, we are at war with radical islam. It just happens the battlefield is IN Iraq." Dave, Saddam was a SECULAR leader. Not a "radical Islamist". Being a paranoid, power-mad dictator, he was strongly opposed to anything that threatened that, such as radical Islam, and in particular, Iranian radical Islam. "Complicated, I know. Read it 2 or 3 times maybe you'll get it."

I guess it is pointless after all this time that we aren't at war with Iraq, we are at war with radical islam. It just happens the battlefield is IN Iraq. I mean, this is your only stand...any caving on this and the house of ideological cards collapses. Iraq is the one place in the ME this battlefield was not. Now much of it is coming under the influence of Iran and there is not a damn thing we can do about it. The strategy was so ill conceived it's scary to think that such arrogant and stupid men are in charge of a country with as much power as ours. Al
