I'd agree that Afghanistan was a necessary engagement. I'd have preferred that we apply more resources there to get the job done right and done completely.

And I think Iraq and some other countries earned our attention as well, but I would not have put all my eggs in any of those baskets, like Dubya did.

Hey, I notice that our intelligence people, and Blair's, got it all wrong about Iraq. Either that, or we're not told what our leaders knew. And since 9/11 we've been unable to locate OBL. It looks like we're flying blind. Personally, I'm thinking that the efforts we should have been putting into intelligence....have not been put in. In my humble view, intelligence is a huge part of "where it's at" in the game of combating terrorism. But then, most of you already know I don't think this is a conventional "war" situation. In conventional war situations, the objective is to capture or control real estate, and seek a surrender from a central authority. This is different. Unless you're Dubya, in which case it's all really simple.
