One of the MANY 'unintended consequences',

of the Bush/Cheney(R) rush to war, killing and wounding thousands, spending trillions and trashing world opinion of the US, is that many years 'after the fact', the next administration, and the American people are loathe to commit our military, even when it's needed. LOTS, of damage from the 'Oops, no WMD'S' fiasco, but one of the worst, along with filling VA hospitals for decades to come, is not having the will to fight, again, even when it's necessary, and because of that, the bad guys rampage and the innocents suffer. Thanks again, George, and DICK.
