Harry, for all we know, this war may still be going exactly according to
their plans.

"the invasion of Iraq, or the capture of top al Qaeda commanders, should be
seen as tactical events in a series of moves and countermoves stretching
well into the future."

Well, duh. No kidding.

Did anybody really think that this "war" was going to begin and end in
Afghanistan...or Iraq?

We all know the public has a short memory, I remember at the start of the
Iraq war hearing Bush make the statement that this war on terror is going to
be a long hard battle and we must have the courage to stand the course.

We all know that the Democrats (slightly more often than Republicans) are
short sighted. It seems the Democrat party elites count on the public
having a maximum memory of 2 years.

You, of course, remember the Axis of Evil speech: Iraq, Iran, and North
Korea.

And I'm sure you remember the following line: "Our fight against terrorism
began in Afghanistan, but it will not end there."

It's not going to end in Iraq either.
