General Barry McCaffrey, a combad veteran of both the Vietnam and Gulf
wars, has long said that Iraq is burning out our military, and he
favored invading Iraq.

That's half the number of GIs we had during the Gulf war. China knows
that. Russia knows that. They also know how we're badly bogged down
in Iraq.

fighting Islamic terrorism in places like Afghanistan and Pakistan.
That was the obvious alternative back then, and it's still the obvious
alternative.
