irrelevent.
i admittedly haven't been jumping up and down about Iraq (not sure i really understood the

incompetence of prior SecDef notwithstanding ... now that we're in the fight, we should win at all costs IMO. if that means fighting dirty, I'm for it. if it saves american lives (including U.S. airmen/sailors/soldiers/marines) ... then I'm for it.
there is no such thing as a fair fight and our adverseries could care less about rules. it's not like we're sparring the english or something like that (cease fire for mid-afternoon tea, gents).
the only rule should be: fight to win.
bash Bush all you want, but you can give him credit for at least having that as an end, even if the execution has sucked.
