despite the fact that Obama's timeline is apparently the same one promised by Bush/Cheney.

The fact that Cheney opposes the withdrawal tells me that it is the right thing to do.

Get the hell outta Iraq!

I used to feel very insulated from the war(s). I still am, I think. But it used to be that I couldn't tell you of anyone that I personally knew in the war zone.

I have a former college roommate (why do we feel compelled to say "former"? is it like people are going to think I am still in college?) and an in-law that have served in Afghanistan. I have a cousin who served in Iraq. And a cousin-in-law that is in Kuwait now.

An acquaintance who did dental work on Sadaam. Another acquaintance who as a shrink went on combat patrols (the army said it was so he could better relate to the soldiers and vice versa).

In other words, these wars have been going on so long that it's even reached my corner of the universe.
