Well yeah, but they've got nukes!
Ted Rall reminds us that ALL Bush wars are bogus:
As you know if you've read this blog for a while, it really pisses me off when some poser Democrat says that the war in Afghanistan, or the "war on terror" in general, was any more justified than the bogus war in Iraq. Bush took his "new Pearl Harbor" and used it to extend his power, both abroad and at home. Terrorism and WMD's were simply excuses for doing what he wanted to do anyway. And failure works for him even better than success (lucky for him), because quagmires funnel many more billions of dollars into Republican coffers than actual missions accomplished would.
