The war in Iraq – then and now – two different things!

I think it’s important to note that comments on the initial invasion starting the war in Iraq and comments on the current situation in Iraq, are two different things.

In other words, being in disagreement with the initial invasion and the motives and actions leading up to that, are a separate issue to dealing with the current situation in Iraq. Disagreeing with the original invasion does not mean that you would (necessarily) be in favor of currently pulling out as if - because it was wrong to go in there in the first place, we should pull out now and abandon current operations now.

It seems to me that it should and in fact has to be considered that the current circumstances in Iraq are specific and direct results of our actions.

To say that we should not have gone in there in the first place is a totally separate issue from any consideration as to what approach we take, or should take concerning the current situation.
