re: And here is where fact meets truth . . .
Your truth:
Allied activity within the sovereign state of Iraq was a clear and separate war from what you also call the "War in Afghanistan".
The facts:
Regardless, the war remains the War on Terror, and the battles fought thus far have been the Battle for Afghanistan, and the Battle for Iraq.
Disagree all you will, rewrite history all you will, the “facts†remain clear -- whereas your “truth†is seen to be an apparent misinterpretation of actual events.
The war declared was on International Terror.
