Harley,

Are they mistakes or differences of opinion? Most of what I have seen is political,opinion and in the rear view. Many say for example that Schwarzkopf is right. Well as much as I like ol stormin he did not have to hang out and rebuild the entire country like this go around in Iraq. So his opinions are completley speculative at best. We have gotton so used to remote control wars/actions like the first gulf war that we cannot fathom things being more difficult or complicated.
IMHO if this thing were not politicised and everyone rooled up there sleves and offered the current admin full support it would appear 1000x smoother if not in fact have gone a little smoother. Also people harping on broader support from the UN clearly do not understrand how the UN works and Kerry is playing games with peoples lack of understanding of the UN issues.
