You know what im fuzzy on, is why we we focused on Iraq and not Afghanistan in the first place. I mean... last i checked, "the war on terror" was kicked off when some ragheads decided to park a couple airliners into twin towers, and the masterminds behind it all, was in Afghanistan, right? So where does the Iraq part come in? Oh that's right, i forgot, the WMD's that well..... it was an epic intelligence failure. So, what aside from "The terrorists might use NBC's on us!", does Iraq have any relation to September 11th? That one's a bit fuzzy to me.

Now, obviously, it's been my opinion that Afghanistan should have been the focus all along. Now, i'm certainly not trying to be a desktop general, but its definatly a place where using the right strategy is crucial (not called the graveyard of empires for no reason), cause the current one doesn't appear to be working if this is any indicator:

That link, really brings the reality of it home.
