Britian didn't make the decision to send in too few troops, which is why the war went badly. I think its fair to say we controlled strategy in Iraq, for the most part. I'm greatful to Britain for their friendship and steadfastness in standing with us for the common purpose of liberty - even in this case I happen to disagree that the war was a good idea.

I can see you're still smarting from my accurate assessment that unions damage America in other threads, but I didn't say anything to that effect about the Times article. They have a liberal bias, although I don't think unions have anything to do with that. (To their credit, most union people are fiercely patriotic - even the organized crime linked unions like the Teamsters are patriotic).
