Someone has spent too much time in Margaritaville. We are fighting a war against a largely invisible enemy. I have no problem with troops "baiting the enemy". I think my four son inlaws and my son all currently on active duty with second tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan would take exception to this not being called a war
Personally i believe our efforts should have been focused in Afghanistan, but we as a nation have stepped in it in Iraq. The Iraqi government needs to be held accountable to some benchmarks for asserting control and making measurable progress on a time line in order to have our continued assitance.
