>>The war on terror, yes, they said that would last a long time. The Iraq war, on the other hand, was going to be quick, a few weeks, or at most a few months.<<
I don?t recall the adminstration making such claims, particularly President Bush.
>>The Iraq war may have been part of the war on terror, but let's not confuse the two.<<
I?m sorry, but you do seem to be confused. The war in Iraq is most definitely part of the war on terror, and has always been. I think perhaps you have it exactly backwards. We should ALWAYS refer to it as the war on terror, not come up with something different to placate the left, or those who despite what they?ve been told from the beginning refuse to call it what it is.
