A definitive statement on Iraq

From Jeff Goldstein, proprietor of the "icky" Protein Wisdom.

But Iraq was never envisioned as an isolated action under the current war strategy; it was considered a battle in a larger war, and was prompted out of intelligence fears, the decision not to play defense and wait for a threat to become imminent or for more towers to fall, and out of a belief that when murderous tyrants threaten the safety and security of your country, it is high time—in an age of such instantaneous global communication and travel—to take them at their word.

Uh . . . uh . . . Jeez! I just can't think of anything that I would like to add to that . . . at all.
