ok, but isn't 20/20 hindsight a bitch? these moron fundamental islamic dipshits don't want us on their holy land...and reagan showed that all it takes is a bit of american blood to make us leave.
now we're in the same situation -- sorta "vietnam-like", and we don't have a viable exit strategy. bush is a moron -- nowhere near the president that reagan was -- but can you be sure what reagan would have done in this situation based on his track record?
it's too hard to what-if this situation to death...but i think iraq was a huge mistake. i was for the war initially (before i was lied to), but now im changing my mind. i'm not saying we should bail and leave the mission un-accomplished, but looking back...it was a huge mistake.
