Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, slated to replace ousted Joint Chiefs of Staff Peter Pace, has already raised the stakes, in Iraq, by claiming that this is "a generational war" as we're not fighting the Russians, the Chinese, the Koreans, or the Serbians, we're fighting "evil."
We agree with Mr. Mullen that this war will go on as far as the eye can see, as long as there is any money to be made from it.
Make no mistake, our involvement in Iraq, and the Middle East, has nothing to do with evil, and everything to do with profit.
