Sorry -- I forgot your inability to read a post in anything but the most absolutely literal sense. I recognize that the US military could probably overthrow the Togolese government faster than most people could figure out where that is. So let me phrase this more carefully:
If Bush said that we were going to attack, say, Togo, in order to eliminate a terrorist threat, and that we were going to accomplish the same goals we set out to accomplish in Iraq -- transition to a new government, rebuilding, stability, etc. -- and that this would happen in a couple of months and wouldn't cost anything, would you believe that?
Of course, I suspect that you would. As they say, a neo-con is someone who has been mugged by reality (and, having thus determined that reality is not very nice, has decided to avoid it forevermore).
