Let's not forget that 9/11 ... Twin Towers crumbling... all the lives lost is a key triggering point for what is now going on in Iraq.
In essence, Bush's stance is, anyone and he means ANYONE in the world who pulls a trigger on our troops or stands in their way... will get the US war machine in their face -- it is ALL part of our retaliation for the deaths we suffered in 9/11.
To Bush it's all related. And it is he who is bringing to justice ALL the "Evil" ones in the entire world, one body bag at a time....
That is all this raging war is about now in Iraq. And Bush will NEVER back down, and THEY (the "Evil" doers) will NEVER back down.
So... we got us a war this time. One that may even make Vietnam fade in the horror of blood flow and body bag counts. And in the same model of Vietnam we are sending in troop build up too slowly, just feeding them to the beast. Our expectations and estimates of the enemy are WAY out of proportion to the real thing.
Our US military planners may be off in their estimate of the resiliance of the enemy's resolve.
I think America is ready for a million+ dead Iraqis and 10s of 1000s of dead coalition troops.
"We will never forget."
This is the dumbest war ever. This is Dumya's War.

U.S. warplanes firing rockets destroyed four houses in Fallujah after nightfall Tuesday, witnesses said.
A doctor said 26 Iraqis, including women and children, were killed and 30 wounded in the strike. The deaths brought to 34 the number of Iraqis killed in Fallujah on Tuesday.
