This objective seems to change though...when it seems that the objective simply cannot be reached for some reason, it shifts. First it was WMD. Then when it came out that there were no WMDs that matched what Bush said was there, the focus shifted to terrorism in general. Right now we're basically fighting the bogeyman. It manifests as all kinds of things but isn't something that can be touched itself. Terrorism is an adaptable creature much like the cold virus. It changes and mutates itself whenever it realizes it can't get things done the old way. Unless we get a more tangible objective or get an actual GOAL, this war will never ever end...or will at least last 4 more years. Cuz as soon as Bush & Co. 'stabilize' Iraq (ha ha!), we'll be off to some other country the Hill says has shifty, beady eyes and start all over again there; same fight, different playground. Rinse and repeat until all countries with even a history of having terrorists set foot on the soil have been subjugated and Americanized while America itself turns into a rich third world country.
