WOW, the right wing party of limbaugh has amFCKINGnesea, both of these debocles (wars) were started by YOUR boy W. Before you all attack (and I'm anticipating it) I was 100% on board with going into Afghanistan, but Iraq was built on lies - WMDs that never existed and other bullshit to keep the dumb-ass American public terrified of supposed intelligence that didn't exist. IMO, if we had concentrated our efforts on Afghanistan instead of piddling around with Iraq, maybe we would have had better success than all the other countries who've tried and failed miserably at forcing their will on that country. Am I saying that the world isn't a better place without Saddam, his ogre sons and his thugs? Of course not, but was Iraq in a better place after W, Cheney and Haliburton got their meathooks into it, I say FCK no. Many of the commanders didn't even know what the end result of Iraq was/could be.
Afghanistan is something that we should probably just pull out of at some point, lick our wounds, try to get healed from and live to fight another day. I think this country is broken of spirit for these kinds of things and we need to make a bipartisan effort to fix the US, which is tough with the party of limbaugh.
