Yeah, but something is lost here, al Qaeda. I remember very little
anti-Bush sentiment for his going after bin Laden. It was his Iraq
diversion that upset many, myself included. We have 9,000 troops in
Afghanistan going after the man who declared war on us, and is a clear
threat. We have 130,000 men in Iraq, which was always a questionable
threat.

In 1942, we had whole Armies battling in the sand of north Africa, great sea
battles taking place off the coast of Australia, and OSS agents dying
unknown and unrecognized in the streets of Lisbon and Madrid. There were
not 540, but thousands upon thousands of American dead, but not one soldier
in Germany or Japan, the nations with whom we were at war.

This is not a thirty-day television war. You have to be able to see the
strategy at work.
