I wish I could have the same sentiments as you Aunty with regard to Iraq. I personally do not forsee any tidier an exit to Iraq as was in Vietnam. With that said, it was the questioning of the commanders choices that ultimately helped get us out of Vietnam. So I am not convinced questioning the choices made in Iraq is the wrong move.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for those soldiers that grilled Rumsfeld yesterday. I'm sure the answers given to them quelled all of their concerns. You know, answers like "you go to war with the military you have not the one you want?". Boy must be nice for them soldiers to know that they were all we had not what we wanted to send...

At least there was some pleasure in watching him squirm like a worm in front of the soldiers. Ultimately I feel it is the soldiers and their families this administration needs to answer to. Time will tell...
