Just wondering

[Adrian II]

All of the intelligence points to the fact that Hussein had WMD's which he shipped out (probably to Syria) during the run-up to the war.

Sure, and Saddam was last spotted boarding the 10.45 to Leeds in a dress and high heels.

EDIT
If winning the war in Iraq is out of the question, so is losing it. I think neither this American President nor the next one can afford to withdraw. The U.S. will be there for many years to come, bleeding energy, money, prestige and goodwill.
