The strategic blunder was in going into Iraq without the will to deal with (especially) Syria and Iran when they predictably began to fuel the insurgencies.

I would not accuse this Administration of lacking will. Now, you might not agree with its timetable. So be it. But Iran was not included in the Jan '03 "Axis of Evil" speech (and mentioned again in the '06 SOTU speech) just because...

I'm not saying they lack will in Iraq. I'm saying they should have had the resolve to deliver the wood to Syria and risk conflagration (if it came to that) in order to rid the poison from Iraq. The same with Iran. If you're busy subduing a tiger, you may have to call in a few extra zookeepers to deal with the polar bears coming over and attacking you from the next cage you left unguarded. The ugly truth of our traitorous liberal elements is that they've managed to politicize the war and put this administration on the defensive.

We should not have entered this war without the willingness to take on all comers. That's my unprofessional opinion. I'm sure most people here would disagree with that, but let's face it - once we're gone, does anyone seriously believe these people will co-exist in peace?
