They've been in Afghanistan since late 2001 and no sign of pulling out. Will it be five more years of war in Afghanistan? Or maybe ten? And how many casualties? If 9/11 was 3000 then Iraq + Afghanistan will in the end be more like 3 000 000. Maybe that's the ratio, for every American, kill a thousand 'rag heads'.

I see you didn't learn anything from your trip to the brig...  |
Yea that's right, I need more 're-education', maybe in Guantanomo or Abu Ghraib.
A bit odd but I kinda miss Cheney, at least he could somehow be held accountable and I think he even made statements to the effect that given the chance they wouldn't go to Iraq. Now with a new leadership and 'government' the slate has been wiped clean and nobody is guilty anymore, of anything. This is a part of the US 'democracy' that I find strange. I don't miss Bush because he was just Cheney's puppet.
