By that logic you also know more than George Bush about Iraq because you've been on the ground longer.
There are some Iraq war vets that are running for office but as democrats and critical of the war. Since they have been in Iraq longer than Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld then that must mean by your logic that they know much more than the executive branch about Iraq.
I hope you see how silly your logic is.
I don't care what your Democrat candidate friends think. The Washington Post, et al, can melt the softer minds, regardless of who they are.
I do know one thing. I know more about Iraq than you do. Even though you might watch and read the news and all.
'Nuff said.
