Well, ake, I think you have hit the nail on the head... Yes, Bush has had his war and now, no matter the circumstance unless the US is outright invaded, he won't get another one... He's all done...

The problem as I see it is how quickly the American people are to forget. Vietnam wasn't really that long ago and most of the folks involved in gettin' the US into Irq-mire were around back then... It is disgraceful that we didn't learn much from Nam... In a way, it is a further insult to our brothers who died in Nam...

"When will they ever learn..."

What is also disgracefull is fir the pro-war folks here to continue to tell the same lies and to try to distract folks from what more and more folks are coming to thi8nk about how they got duped into supporting this dumbass war...

And they will tell whatever story that Bush's PR folks can think up to keep from havin' to say. "Hey, maybe we did mess up..."

Just this week we learn that the German intellegence community was tellin' the US intellegence community that "Curveball" din't know squt about squt, yet it was Bush who kept from the Congress the disenting opinions in the daily intellegence reports which would have certainly been made public and Joe-Sixpack would have had at least some inkling that there were folks inside the CIA who were sayin' "Bullsh*t" to the Bush/Cheney claims that Iraq had WMD's...

Oh yeah, a couple days before the vote to go to war, some of these were released to Congress with little or no time to get them into the public consciousness... The damage had been done with the relentless pounding of the War Drum so even if some Congressman did make the time to read the report, there plainly wasn't the time to turn back 4 month's of drum pounding...

But even today, folks a small number of folks still gather 'round the drum. like ol' fraternity buds, and pound and pound away telling and retelling stuff that, face it, no one other than themselves, believe...

There's an ol' Conway Twitty songs which I think was entitled "Too BUsy Drinkin'" that has a line that goes, "The last lie I told her was the one she couldn't believe"... Well, to my pro-Bush friends, you are on that side of the lie...
