John, As I said, we were behind from day one... We surely were not. We toppled Saddam and destroyed the millitary. We were way ahead, but let the situation deteriorate. by your definition whenever we "end" the war it will be capitulation. No, that is not at all my definition. I put the word "end" in quote because it does not exist in real world, only in imaginary Obama world. You don't END wars. You either win them lose them or settle for a draw (Korea and tens of thousands of US troops in place for decades to enforce it). Leaving the battlefield equals losing. And frankly you are right, capitulation to limiting the damage we have done to ourselves trying to put lipstick on a pig. And you are not even conceiving the damage we would have done to ourselves (and the rest of the world) by giving Middle East to AQ. No I didn't. Yes you did. You dismissed something that worked, that produced results. That's an opposite of a pragmatist. It's just so weird that you guys keep looking for the "good side" of this disaster. I take the toll the war has taken seriously. But it is nothing compared to the disaster of capitulating to Al Qaeda and letting it take over Mid East. Joe
