It's the worst policy train wreck in US history, including Vietnam

A totally ridiculous claim.

Vietnam was 58300 lives lost for nothing. Iraq, if we are successful, will radically alter the Middle East FOREVER, in a way that provides numerous important benefits for the United States.

This is a Harry-Reid-esque remark you made, essentially, "We've lost the war".

Not until the war is won or lost will it be determined whether the decision to go to war was good or bad. You cannot measure that based on public sentiment, which is almost always wrong on these subjects.

We did what we had to do and what should have been done years earlier. Now that it has turned into a rougher fight than expected, we don't just walk away from it. We do the job.

I just hope some of you guys are still around when it is over, and when the outcome can be rationally evaluated. Today, it cannot be.
