German newspapers are announcing that the new government in Iraq has already collapsed. That means the U.S. mission in Iraq has failed.
The Neo-conservatives who led the cheers for the war in Iraq are abandoning ship. British newspapers are collating quotes from prominent American neo-conservative "intellectuals" who are already admitting defeat.
The only question that remains is how long it will take for Fox News and this administration to admit what the world already knows.
I'm already fairly certain that the evangelicals who conjured up "just war" rationales and led cheers for this administration's pre-emptive war with Iraq will never admit their error. Richard Land has certainly found his place in history.
Meanwhile, whose son or daughter will be the last soldier to die for this administration's colossal mistake?

The Bush team is being widely denounced as defensive and self-concerned. But these accusations are a part of the general War Against Bush, which is in high gear. - William F. Buckley, Jr. on April 01, 2004

"And a year from now, I'll be very surprised if there is not some grand square in Baghdad that is named after President Bush. There is no doubt that, with the exception of a very small number of people close to a vicious regime, the people of Iraq have been liberated and they understand that they've been liberated. And it is getting easier every day for Iraqis to express that sense of liberation." - Richard Perle on September 22, 2003

Dave, I understand what you are saying about the harsh realities of Muslim nations but how does the hostility over there make this war in Iraq acceptable? Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, there were no WMD, Saddam was no worse than most leaders in the region and now with a few years of battle behind us, thousands of lost soldiers and a huge financial debt we seem to be in worse shape globally than when we started. How long until you follow in step with the rest of the right-wing in your understanding of the consequences of this ill-conceived war?
Dave,
I'm praying for your boys too.
The best system of government in the history of the world cannot keep leaders from making dumb decisions.
There's no virtue in following blind men into a ditch.
As if there wasn't an all out war on the Presidency of Bill Clinton by the Moral Mafia and the Republicans from the day he was elected. Rush Limbaugh started every show with "Washington under seige" They impeached him for having a groupie. Sorry anyone who still supports Bush or Cheney has no MORAL standing.
