It doesn't erase the billions of dollars being spent on this war when that money is sorely needed elsewhere. It doesn't erase the fact that we are facing serious problems recruiting new soldiers when the military is stretched too thin. It doesn't erase the fact that there are other threats that deserved more of our attention but didn't get it due to a president who's only focus was taking out Saddam.

Thank you. You've expressed exactly what I've been struggling to articulate ever since I read this thread last night.
