The more important point here is the severe hurt this occupation has put on America's military readiness, as evidenced by these call-backs.

This fool of a president has made America as militarily and diplomatically weak as it has been in my lifetime, and at the same time Mr. Bush has estranged us from our traditional NATO allies. We are not only stretched to the breaking point, we are virtually alone.

And for the trifecta of stupidity, the Iraq invasion coupled with our lack of any coherent energy policy have poured billions into the coffers of terrorist states.

Iran rests its Army and spends billions on weapons development while we drain our treasury and send men and women back to Iraq for third and fourth tours.

Stay the course my a$$.

Well said.
