Strength of conviction? If you want to talk about strength of conviction, how about Bush, Cheney, etc shitting the bed on AFGHANISTAN?! They got rid of the Taliban and now the country is falling into complete and total anarchy with warlords looming large and the prospect of the Taliban seizing power in obscure regions is realistic again. There is NO battle plan for Afghanistan and millions of people there will continue to suffer while Bush and his crooks...er, cronies...continue to distract the world with their failures in Iraq.
Don't ever forget that as bad as Iraq might seem, Afghanistan is such a quagmir that the US wants to wash their hands of the whole problem...the infuriating thing is, Afghanistan is not a problem, it's a COUNTRY!! A whole country with millions who need Americans to follow up on their initial war to avoid the entire region collapsing. But no, there's nothing to be GAINED in Afghanistan, so Bush continues to fraudulently complain that we can't leave Iraq because somehow they have completely unproven links to terrorist groups.
Bush has no strength of conviction other than where his interests are served.
