The death toll is minor compared with other wars and we also want to maintain the supply of oil.

However we all got to our views, with few exceptions we are coalescing around having the elections and declaring victory and exiting in a timely way regardless of situation on the ground. You are right that lives have been wasted and i will not minimize that with a cliche but I am also right that we can get out with some honor intact knowing that we got rid of a brutual dictator and at least freed the shia and the kurds. Hopefully after we depart what happens in the triangle stays in the triangle. (g)
