Can one command handle two wars?


I wonder if when the histories of the wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq are better understood if we will conclude that we should
not let one combatant command try to oversee two wars.



Oddly, this thought is provoked not by events
in either country but in a third: Iran.



Speaking of Iraq, one Best Defender reports
seeing the other day in Niles, Michigan, a bumper sticker that said, "I (heart)
Sadr City."



And I see that bombs
are still blasting off
in and around Baghdad.
I wonder if it will be a long December there.
