Yup, an army loaded with those with few choices and poor educations. I
bet you served. I love how people try to make this about something it
isn't. The war in Iraq was based on a lie. There are no WMD's. NO
WMD's. None, Joe. When will you figure out that the AMERICANS dying in
IRAQ are dying for that lie. Without the WMD tail, there'd have been
no war in Iraq, no thousands of dead Americans (and a LOT of Iraq
innocents as well) no huge rise in terrorism.
Attack any aspect of the above as you wish. But if you want to murder
an American, don't do it with a war started over a LIE....as your boy
Bush did. 71% of Americans (and that's half of the republicans) now
"get it."
When will you, Joe?

From John McCain

"And now, we confront a choice as historically important as any we
have faced in a long while: Will this nation's elected leaders make
the politically hard but strategically vital decision to give General
Petraeus our full support and do what is necessary to succeed in
Iraq?

Or will we decide to take advantage of the public's frustration,
accept defeat, and hope that whatever the cost to our security, the
politics of defeat will work out better for us than our opponents?

However it ends, the war in Iraq will have a profound influence on the
future of the Middle East, global stability and the security of the
United States, which will remain for the foreseeable future directly
affected by events in that dangerous part of the world.

The war is part of a broader struggle in the Arab and Muslim world,
the struggle between violence extremists and the force of modernity
and moderation. "
