Three years later, Congress decides to actually do their jobs instead of being Bush's rubber stamp....

How so?  If your boss checks your work at your job, does that make you feel as though it was for nothing?

No, it tells you your boss is interested in ensuring that you're doing your job correctly.

Lastly, while you may feel that the war is being run correctly, there are plenty of people who would disagree with you, and make some valid points (admittedly, some of the issues are exagerated though).  Are we just going to run everything based on hearsay or are we going to get to the root of the problem and find solutions?  I don't know about you, but I prefer the latter.

there is no answer though. seriously, this all politics. i can say that i firmly believe that this "study of the war" is motivated with a purely political agenda. how else should a war be run? its a war!!!!! bad shit happens. we arent nuking towns and shit.

look, i KNOW for a fact that a lot of the soldiers over there already have low morale because of what the media has been saying. im not saying I know more here than anyone else, but I was in a relationship with someone while he was in Iraq and when he just came back. He was in the most active unit in the army over there. A lot of them feel as if they are there for no reason. I dont see how this helps at all.

I would see the need for an assessment had Congress proven over the years that they could come up with positive and intelligent recommendations for the future. Its been my opinion that they havent. I agree with Mr. Lament on this one: it would be just like recounting the fucking ballots. Just let it go, finish the job to create a stable environment, and bring our troops home. Then, if they want to sit around with tea and biscuits and bitch about the past, so be it.
