Honestly: Iraq is the more important theater. Afghanistan and its people don’t matter except in as far as it can be a terrorist haven. Iraq has a key strategic position and large quantities of oil, which we need to keep flowing.

Could not disagree more. Iraq in 2002, when the plans were being generated to invade, was no more a geopolitical threat to the US, nor had as much to do with Islamic Fundamentalism and terror, as Iceland. Are you now saying we invaded for oil? Uh oh…

And as far as “except as far as it can be a terrorist haven”???

Really, DF, wasn’t that the freaking point after 9/11? Remember that day? Where it was planned? Where they were?

This selective memory is disturbing to me.
