Not watching the debate so I'm not commenting on Ryan or Biden, just saying that I can't think of one good reason for anyone to have died in Iraq. None.

though there were certainly other options, and plenty of other ways to play it when the time came.
I'd still give Obama all credit for the actually ending the war, and doing it the right way. If Ryan doesn't like it - anyone that wants to run on getting us back involved in Iraq is welcome to try!
