Hawkmoon, you simply don't get it. That's too bad. It's even worse for the Ferals of the world who see you put together sentences and follow behind. The blind leading the blind into darkness and despair, celebrating each step of their doomed journey.

It's as though you and Bush are stuck in one of Shakespeare's tales of tragedy and human folly.

And your answer????

For you to attempt to justify the horrendous toll America is paying by claiming that people like me are justifying beheadings and that we, by voicing our pragmatic views, "create ...total failure" is simply childish.

But you're still stuck on "Half of the battle in fighting any war is the belief that you MUST WIN." (Even in the face of hard facts that portend certain defeat.)

But maybe you've learned a little. In the past you didn't qualify that simplistic, sloganistic jingo with the "half the battle" thing. You simply said that we'd win if we had the will. Does that mean that you now recognize that the other side has a say?

Whatever, it's not enough. I'll tell you what I've told Nadine. You've been totally, dismally and heartwrenchingly wrong on just about every issue at just about every juncture on Iraq. That is a FACT.

It's too bad that you're so wrong but wrong is what you have been, what you are and what you'll evidently continue to be. Your path undermines America's future, devours her young and consumes her treasure.

And the toll keeps rising.

While your solution seems to be, "[t]oo bad people like you don't spend more time convincing the Jihadists that they can't win, instead of telling the American people that we've already lost."

If it wasn't for the facts on the ground that might work. Unfortunately, reality doesn't care about hopes, or magical fixes or spin. It simply is what it is and what it is in Iraq is a loser. Now that's too bad but it isn't going to change with happy talk.

You better stick to the blame game. Your odds of selling spin there are much better. Ed
