Judging by the picture above, I&#8217;m guessing a dental plan is at the top of the list.

I guess we know which version history will remember, though. Ingrates. Actually, I just wrote the post because I just wanted to write the dental plan thing in the first paragraph. Our biggest failure of the Iraq was leaving there while al Sadr was still alive. Dung beetles should be rolling what&#8217;s left of him across the desert.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the ninth anniversary of the Iraq War, where is IVAW and ANSWER?
