Saddam and his sons being killed was the good ending.

In terms of blood and treasure, 4,500 men and three trillion dollars worth? That's what it will have cost by the time we're done caring for wounded warriors for an entire lifetime.

See my response above. Freerepublic is typically above progressive canards. Again, why does the MSM continue to equate deaths during the insurgency with deaths removing Saddam and his sons ? They were two separate operations not even related. Did not even agree with trying to nation build so I view those deaths as a great tragic loss that was unnecessary. We need to run operations like the Israelis run them. In and out.
