short and sweet. old man had the Iraqis on the roap's in full retreat, could have chased them all the way to baghdad, would have required the old man to tell the allies how the cow ate the cabbage, but that didn't happen. Junior comes along, pretty much loads up his staff with whomever from his old mans admin that wanted to come along, attitude seemed to be let's finish that war we didn't finish from early in juniors admin. to be fair junior got distracted by the terrorist attacks against US here. short and sweet. and i do agree with earlier poster, about big battle looming there in the future. what we do now will have no impact on that future battle, cause it is coming regardless of what we do now.
