I hear you, UW
but this comment seems like pure sugar coating over a six-inch massive gut wound

"Should be no surprise there. That is the nature of the beast...Always has been."

in reply to my comment about poor planning, financing, and everything else
this war is abysmal on several fronts
my take is they wanted to get it started for whatever justified reasons, with whatever flimsy troop strength, etc
so that later we can double the effort and call any naysayers "unsupportive of our troops who risk their lives"
that is exactly what happened

we are close, I see
too bad NeoCon Fascists who co-opted the Republican Party deem all criticism as unpatriotic
when in fact, offering criticism is a hallmark of US Patriotism, and is the essence of what we stand for
