the majority of military returning from Iraq say ... Because nobody can come home from that hole thinking that they and their wounded buddies went through all that just so Dick Cheney could get a little richer. They have to think it was worth while. Talk to a few military who have been back a year. TP

RE:"ou should ask why the majority of military returning from Iraq say they are making a difference and think the mission needs to continue." The facts don't look so rosy as per conservative columnist David Brooks.... "Brooks then cites a poll in which 64% of military officers think we can prevail. But that is low. If 36% of our military officers, people who don't normally question the President's war, don't buy into the Iraq War anymore, then that just goes to show how badly the morale in our army has been shot. That number should be at least 90% for Brooks to be able to make an effective argument that the war is still winnable. Then, Brooks talks to "non-partisan experts" who he says think that we still have a 50-50 chance.
