Couple of thoughts (In no particular order)

1. We like our wars short 4-5 years. With A Few Casualties...but not too many. We Also like a Scoreboard so we can tell at a glance How We're Doin.

2. Doha was a Bad Deal. Poorly negotiated. Though its hard to negotiate well when the leader has said many times We're Outta Here. That said Grand Pa Joe took a bad deal a really made it worse...Much Worse. Ah Grand Pa "Don't Kill Bin Laden" Joe.
