I agree and hope things get better in the coming months.

Interesting this morning while walking at the club and watching the communist news network. They were talking about how the prisoner abuse scandal was galvanizing the anti war movement much like the Tet offensive did in 68 to the Vietnam movement. Tet was the beginning of the end for America in Vietnam and they think the scandal in Iraq will mark our end there.

What I really find interesting about the comparison is Tet won us the conflict if we had pressed forward according to most analysis. We lost because the government caved in to the anti war movement who used the graphic images from Tet to bolster their case.

We snatched defeat from the jaws of victory by caving into the clueless. Will we do it again?
