Well, that ruffled some feathers.
I'm glad to see Republicans energetically defending themselves. Lethargy and malaise are unbecoming in a party during a Presidential campaign. On the political homefront they are indeed the one party that's supported the effort in Iraq from the beginning, and kept it from becoming "another Vietnam", and I think the GOP can take pride in that. I think if the average Republican knew more about the war in Iraq they would certainly do so. The funny thing is, the problem I see is that things are actually going better than even the most loyal Republican thinks (Hint: read that link). So I'm not impressed when I hear people insist we're winning the war we won last year.
Democrats, on the other hand, have offered nothing in response to this quote: "[Democrats] need to know all they can about Iraq, if they didn't, they could accidentally say something true about the war." So it goes.
But now I offer folks a chance to demonstrate their fundamental knowledge of Iraq, instead of their outrage at accusations of lacking same. Here's a two-part question - I think it's the most basic one possible:
What is the primary mission of the US military in Iraq?
a. Strategic Overwatch
b. Counterinsurgency
c. Training Iraqi security forces
d. Providing security
e. Building infrastructure
f. All the above and more
g. None of the above
And where is that mission defined?
For bonus points: under whose authority is that mission conducted, and how is success measured?
