That's deeply offensive to someone who chose to go there, and on top of that, my company came back with 2 less Marines.

Spence, maybe one day I'll ask JohnR to post one the birthday cards I get every year from some of the regular folks we met in Iraq. These people's lives have been improved immeasurably with the death of Saddam. These people cannot express their love and gratitude for our country. Oil money that was once used to build torture chambers, is now used to build schools and medical clinics.

Was that worth the cost? Not for me to say. But for you to say that we just threw that money out the window, and literally got nothing for it?

You can do better than that, Spence.
