Default A Couple Later Comments

I'm glad that whoever it was that was negotiating in our behalf told the Iraquis to stuff it as far as being able to prosecute and try any of our military. Who could ever think that a country would invade another, occupy it under force for 5-6 years, and then agree that its soldiers should be subject to the new laws and new judicial system installed by the occupied country? Besides, our Uniform Code of Military Justice is almost certainly a fairer and better system of justice--with harsher penalties, as well--than anything the Iraquis dreamed up a couple years ago.

I also hope that as long as they want us there for another couple of years that we start sending them some bills for our service that they can pay from the more than $80 billion they've accumulated from oil sales.

Now the question is...is this victory with honor?...or simply the declaration of victory before we withdraw...or just a plain old conclusion that we ought to get out of there because it's costing too much in lives and treasure, and there's little more to be accomplished there anyway?
