Yes and Yes. Were they both justified? 110% yes. You are arguing semantics. Maybe if Johnny said they both 'declared' war on these countries it would have been more 'factual'

I agree. One of the main reasons I couldn't support Hillary in '08, even though I think she is doing a decent job as SoS.
All along Afghanistan, while probably 5+ years too long, was justified. Iraq, I have to disagree, and have been personally consistent on this.
This does not demean what you and your troops did, you guys did/are doing an exemplary job. Support the troops, if not the war...
