re: and...
"...this administration, most Generals and the entire DOD were prepared to lose 10,000 in the ousting of Saddam."
An answer from several months ago.
It depends on whether the war is worth it.
No WMD, no threat to the world; does it still make it worth it?
I'm sure the current US administration wanted the war because they remembered the low casualty level of the first Gulf war in 1991. That's the one to compare with.
I've noticed Don's post was totally neutral and factual and your answer became a personal attack on him, which changed the subject.
