One comment: Those who shout for war, have never experienced it! Want war? Strap on a uniform and SERVE, then! Why be a desk jockey like Rove, Cheney and that "rootin, tootin' cowboy, Bush", who ALL dodged the bullet, by deferring 5 times like Cheney, cause he had BETTER things to do, just not serve, like Rove or go AWOL and wear costumes, like BUSH? Hell, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
