Teribus:

1) The course you should be staying

The United States of America plus a coalition involving some 43 other countries intervened militarily in Iraq. I personally thought that on the information available at the time they were perfectly correct in doing so. That having been said, predominantly the United States of America and the United Kingdom started something and they are honour bound and obliged to finish it, not turn and scuttle ignominiously for home the minute that things appear to be getting tough. That is the course you should be staying.

My thoughts on this kind of "we have to see it through" malarkey here.

To be truthful, I don't give a damn what Teribus thought. He can think the moon is made of bleu cheese, but that has no bearing on what we should do. In this particular case, his beliefs just prove him to be a person whose opinions should be assiduously avoided by any sane people passing by.

Cheers,
