re: What I learned is that if you're going to fight a war, do what is necessary to win it.
You see the really idiotic part of that statement is that before you decide to fight a war you've got to be damned sure the end game is achievable and is worth the huge sacrifice. And if it's not, you will never win. Bush and his Neo ideologues, without real world experience, miscalculated everything.
There is no end game in Iraq, we all know that. It keeps gets worse, even you stopped talking about the new democratic shining light of Iraq, spreading freedom to the ME. Everybody is looking for a way out... but refusing to face the reality that we lost another war. The sooner we face that reality, the sooner we get the hell out, the more lives are saved, and the sooner Iraq can get on with it's history.
After Kerry testified, another 10,000 US kids died in Vietnam, countless were maimed or mentally destroyed. Everybody knew it was over, but nobody would take responsibility for "losing" the war. How long are we going to hang on in iraq, and what's the cost?
