Didn't really care for it. You take the position that the Iraq War was a mistake. I don't.

I don't think it was a blunder at all, and I remain convinced that if we can win, we have an amazing opportunity to utterly re-make the map of the region. I think that's an invaluable result, and worth the risks.

IF WE LOSE, though, we will have lost a huge bet.
