There CANNOT be a successful outcome to bush,jr's misbegotten war. He supports the wrong Muslims. He has no support among Americans He failed to unify America before he started his war He failed to mobilize America. We lost the very first day he dreamed this mess up. It's irretrievable. Today the violence in the region flared and we losr three more of our young men. Iraq is a "sunk cost" The longer we stay the more it will cost America and the outcome will be the same. Quote
