I opposed this war from day one because I knew we could not "win". Or rather I knew the terrorists could not lose. If all violence ceased in Iraq tomorrow, ...

if we stayed another five years, ...

if there wasn't so much as a case of jaywalking in the entire country during those years, ...

if the Iraqi gov't left behind went on to govern peaceably, secularly and were the most outspokenly pro-western gov't in the middle east, ...

... the terrorists would STILL use our ultimate departure as "proof" that we are not willing to stick it out. It was a stupid fucking war for which "victory" doesn't even have a fucking definition.

So, yeah, Americans want to win. They are coming to realize we can not. And so they are turning against the war. Idiot finally got something correct. Broken clock and all that.
