I want to see more money put in to our military so they can perform, I don't 
want to see the major part of our military involved in Afghanistan for a 10 
year period as the result.

Our resources belong in better places where NATO and UN obligations are 
required.

The US has already wasted an immense amount of resources by being bogged down 
in Iraq, and Afghanistan (where a Canadian reporter said "you can count the US 
reporters one finger").  If Bush had decided to stay in Afghanistan and forget 
about Iraq, it would be over by now and there would be better things to do than 
what's going on now.

It's understandable why Bush went to Iraq, the US taxpayer needed a "country" 
to fight in, when the "War On Terror" isn't about turf.   How could he convince 
anyone to spend money on a war without a "front" made of traditional battle 
lines?

After all, they've got all those air craft carriers, all those tanks and other 
traditional military shit; designed to fight a traditional war and not a 
guerilla war where the opponent has no country or flag.
