This is correct but if I may add
Reader comment on item: Assessing the American-Led Effort in Iraq

This is correct… However, as in any war, every military man knows you don't rebuild till the war is over for reasons too obvious to state to any thinking person. … I have said this from the beginning and was severely admonished for my ignorance. It's like trying to build a housing complex that's in the path of an oncoming hurricane.

I am still a Republican but leaning to becoming an Independent. Where has our common sense gone ? BTW I am sure you are already aware of Russia's delivery of enriched uranium to Iran under the watchful eye of the IAEA… FUBAR, SNAFU, and I think I am coming home after the first of the year. I pray God will forgive me for all my ignorance. But I think not… Despair has overcome me.

Your biggest fan! Please continue this good fight you so inspiringly began…
