#1 Well, that was $600 million wasted -- the arms were free, liberated from Saddam's massive storage facilities, the terrorists were volunteers looking to die, and in the end all they are getting out of their investment is Fallujah rubble and Baathist widows. And clearly, the sponsored events in Iraq have not distracted Bush from annoyance at Syria's little peccadillos.

In fact, even without the clear wins in Afghanistan and Iraq, just by being there Coalition activities are flushing a lot of money, madmen and organizational ability out of the system, much as Israel's targetted assassinations are doing in the Palestinian territories. Dead and arrested people, spent money and used up materiel make me feel much more sanguine about my daughters' safety. Thank you, President Assad!
