Do we know what we are doing in Iraq?

We seem to be clueless on so many levels. This op ed piece by Andrew J. Bacevich points out our behavior on the ground is often at odds with stated purpose.

What's an Iraqi Life Worth

For those of you on the right who might want to discount the opinions of an academic from the liberal N.E. (Boston University, his office is down the street from my MIT Frat house), please google before you speak/post. Prof. Bacevich is a Vietnam Veteran and a graduate of West Point. For those of you on the left, yes one can think for ones self after being educated by the military. In fact it is encouraged.

As a former member of the National Guard, I have often thought that we would be much better off if George W. Bush had come to drill more often. Especially if he had paid closer attention of the Military Law classes and learned about the Geneva Convention etc.
