What you're talking about is two very different operations. I don't want there to be hint of a suggestion that one operation is better than the other. But in the final analysis, this was a better fit.
I think we're glazing eyes all across America.
My level of cynicism about the reasons that took us to war against Iraq remain just as well-developed as they were before I went.

It has been called a secret blueprint for US global domination. ... A small group of people with a plan to remove Saddam Hussein long before George W. Bush was elected president. ... And 9/11 provided the opportunity to set it in motion. Not since Mein Kampf has a geopolitical punch been so blatantly telegraphed years ahead of the blow.
In the days of Caesar, kings had fools and jesters. Now network presidents have anchormen.
