From "Mugsy's Rap Sheet:"

One year ago today, Murtha Declares Iraq in Civil War; Calls for Redeployment.

It was a full year ago today former war-hawk and U.S. Representative John Murtha (D-PA) publicly renounced his support for the war in Iraq, conceding that Iraq was now in the midst of a civil war, proposing an “immediate redeployment to the periphery” to start us on the path out of Iraq.

That was 783 dead soldiers ago.

But if “one year” makes you sick, what about two?

Two years ago during the Presidential debates between John Kerry and George Bush, the former prosecutor Kerry stated the obvious, that terrorism is a tactic that can never be defeated like a country.

(...)

Flash forward two years later to last Monday. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Peter Pace, in an interview on MSNBC, told the interviewer that “Winning… is simply having each of the nations that we’re trying to help have a secure environment”, and in using Washing D.C. police as an example, “keeps the level of crime below the level at which the government can function. That’s really what winning in the war on terrorism is”. Sound familiar?

That revelation only took 1720 dead U.S. soldiers.

Are you feeling sick yet?
