The military people appear to be aware that they are actors on a stage not of their making.

*** Well, when they are asked questions to which answers seem so obvious, our military men and women have 'acted' with dignity and respect.

Our political leaders appear to be puppetmasters from time to time.

*** They ALL appear to be that, M.A. not just in the USA. (That one rhymed).

I worry that the tasty military "information" is distracting us from the drier, but ultimately more important, backstory of how we got here and who stands to benefit most from the outcome.

*** I think that there are many factors here that are inter-related and it would be nice if they could all be solved at once. Right now, the Iraqi people will benefit the most. Still too early to tell.
