Do you think we as a nation would win the war faster, and with less casualties if the American people closed ranks and supported the decision we made collectively?

Did you notice that Losing is not an option has been dropped? What is being said with more frequency by the Administration and US military commanders is that the insurgency will be defeated by Iraqis probably after the US has left.

In other words, they already know we lost. The Bush Administration is just hoping to drag it out long enough that the loss isn't recorded on their watch. If they can't drag it out for the next three years, then they've set up the Iraqis as losing the battle.

This is where you're supposed to say..."At least we tried."
