Wig, you are correct in many ways. Iraq almost certainly has some side deals that great affect the region and the world. They have the right attitude and approach to be in with some very unsavory types.
"junior" has taken a very tough decision, that honestly he backed himself into having to make. Attempting to force the issue with the UN, putting the troops into the field, and such basically left him with no choices that would look good. The war is the best card to play out of a very low hand. I personally support the war, I am still wondering about the "why now, why not next week"? Nobody has answered the question of timing... the deadlines all seemed a little forced with little or no explaination.
Now I am listening to the announcements of the first troops dying in the field, after a helicopter crashed. The pain has started on all sides, hoping that all of this will be over soon.
