OTOH if you are angry & frustrated because you know you cannot answer
the questions, then maybe you should reconsider your political opinions.

What part of their mission is a crock of crap, Chuck?


And I answered that question. The U.S. military has not been given a job
which in any furthers the interests of the United States in the Iraq
invasion. The Iraq war was based on lies & greed.

The U.S. military has done an admirable job in those things which it has
accomplished... all the more so because it was hobbled by profiteering.
But that does not change the fact that other than removing Saddam
Hussein from power, there is no mission to accomplish.

"Protect, promote and preserve U.S. interests in the Central Region to
include the free flow of energy resources, access to regional states,
freedom of navigation, and maintenance of regional stability" is not on
the agenda for U.S. goals in Iraq. And if it is, then we are going
backwards.

The rest of the long list which you posted is no closer to being
accomlished, judging by the best facts available.

You are welcome to post facts indicating which goals from your list
*are* being accomplished.

There was no discussion of the status of completion.

I don't wish to get into a 'smart-assed comment' contest with you.
