The War in Iraq

I haven’t been very vocal about the War in Iraq but today, in the lee of the 2000th soldier who died in the cause I fell compelled to speak out on this topic. I wasn’t in support of the War in the beginning; I still feel we rushed into it. But I also think that now that we are there we have a duty to finish this right. Which is where my vision differs from the current Administration. I think we need to manage this fight much like I manage a software project. You need to set out all your goals, allocate time and resources and from that plan you get milestones and a end date. If we say our goal is 1 million trained Iraqi forces then fine, layout a project to get there and make it happen. I cannot understand why this President who is all about testing results and setting goals in Education policy but not when executing our foreign policy. I support the troops, I always have, but I think it’s time for the Administration to be help accountable for not having an exit plan in place.
