In a previous life I worked on a website for the Veteran’s Administration.  It was pretty drab stuff.   But one thing I remember was that for benefit purposes, the VA didn’t distinguish between the Gulf War in 1991, and the invasion of Iraq in 2003.    They called them Gulf I and Gulf II.

I guess for the VA, the first Gulf war never really ended.  But now it appears that the end might be in sight.  I came across this article on MSNBC by Richard Engel.    He believes there have been five different wars in Iraq and that the sixth war is under way — America’s exit strategy.

Along the way, he sheds some light on how we ended up getting tangled up in Iraq’s civil war caused by toppling Saddam.
