Removing the Taliban from rule in Afghanistan, destruction of over two-thirds of al Qaeda's structure there and elsewhere, free elections in Iraq, reconstruction of the Iraqi monetary system, creation of an Iraqi elected government acceptable to a wide range of interests, removal of Libya's WMD programs, continuing development of an ABM system, and enacting a major arms reduction treaty with Russia.

What I was asking for was in Iraq- I would think that was obvious. So IN IRAQ you maybe have the fall of Baghdad and elections.

ABM systems, taking credit for Libya, 'reconstruction of the iraqi monetary system'- yeah right. Sure. And how much pixie dust do you have to sell?

"As for the rest, why should I grant your predictions any more weight than my alternate history thinking has gotten here"

Because they are based off of a realistic analysis of how things are- not how things would be if four years ago or eight years ago some other guy had gotten elected and...and...and...

Thats a big difference.

As for the rest- As I said, its not worth talking to you about. Nobody gets anywhere and I don't want to play 'Make Believe' with you.
