Hi teevee; Re: "Kerry is done....when you wade into the stream and are half way across, do you turn back or cross to the other side?"
If we were half way across, your logic would make sense. The problem is that we aren't even a tiny way across. Here's a clue: You know you're halfway across when the water quits getting deeper. But in Iraq, our casualty rates keep increasing.

P.S.
Waste Deep in the Big Muddy
It was back in nineteen forty-two,
I was part of a good platoon.
We were on manoeuvers in Louisiana,
One night by the light of the moon.
The captain said, "We've got to ford the river",
That's where it all began.
We were knee deep in the Big Muddy,
And the damn fool kept yelling to push on.
The Sergeant said, "Sir, are you sure,
This is the way back to the base?"
"Sergeant, I once crossed this river
Not a mile above this place.
It'll be a little soggy but we'll keep slogging.
We'll soon be on dry ground."
We were waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the damn fool kept yelling to push on.
"Captain, sir, with all this gear
No man'll be able to swim."
"Sergeant, don't be a Nervous Nellie,"
The Captain said to him.
"All we need is a little determination;
Follow me, I'll lead on."
We were neck deep in the Big Muddy
And the damn fool kept yelling to push on.
