re: It doesn't.
"This political battle isn't about Iraq "
To me this isnt about politics and it's ONLY about Iraq.
This isnt about left or right
This isnt about starting a war based on a pack of lies,and making a complete hash of it resulting in the deaths of hundreds and thousand off innocent men, women and children.
Good may well come of it in due course - but that does NOT mean that it was a good turn of events.
If I wanted to change a room in my house - do I make changes, or do I flatten the entire place and rebuild it with the changed room?
