Aren't we?
The troops are still there and American servicepeople are still being killed and wounded. The huge battles are over, the war isn't.
I would feel a lot better about the administrations decisions if even one weapon of mass destruction had been found.
Perhaps they still will.
There is no question in my mind, however, that the President decided on the course he wanted to take, and was not above "bending" alleged intelligence to send us on that course.
I've lived during a lot of administrations, and televised every president since Nixon. Whether President Bush is "great" is something for history to decide.
Jimmy Carter was not seen as a great president at the time, but is now considered one of the great American Statesmen of history.
Bush's legacy, though, will be greatly affected by this military action and the economy which the war is certainly not helping.
I'll decide, as will most people, with the benefit of hindsite.
