There's much to be said about the war, and the expense in lives lost and broken, the expense in treasure, the expense in attention, the expense in international prestige and influence.
But I'll say it at a later date (and I'm sure others are saying it already).
All I'll say for now is, yes! Thank you, President Bush, for negotiating the timetable with the Iraqis, and thank you, President Obama, for making that timetable a reality. Thanks to the soldiers, and I hope you're all home for the hiolidays.
You job creators out there? Hire a veteran. Do it tomorrow. Thanks.


We both agree. The cost of the Iraq war will be felt for generations.

Being just about ten pages away from the end of The Slab, I'm sure it was difficult for you to not say anything else just yet. But I'll look forward to your future thoughts.
Speaking of, I'd like to review The Slab at my blog as well as a short interview. I call them my "7 questions." The first six are generally the same, but I try to mix it up and personalize it a little more on the seventh. Interested?
