Will Bush be President when he is the ONLY one left that sees Iraq as winnable?
Today at a press conference, GW still says regarding the continued criminal war of aggression in Iraq: "I believe that we're going to win."

I've heard that one definition of “crazy" is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. The vast majority of the American people, including former Secretary Secretary of State Colin Powell now say we ARE LOSING this fiasco. How many more proverbial political lemmings will continue to support an unwinnable war? The old saying from the Vietnam War era - "Hell no, we won't go!" seems as applicable now as it was in the 60's. It is incredulous that even with all the evidence to the contrary, Bush refuses to remove his rose colored glasses. He is an egomaniac asleep at the wheel! When does his obsessive desire to "win" when almost everyone else says we are "losing" define the man in the eyes of the public as a dictator gone mad? The man's lost his footing in reality and either needs to be judged mentally unfit to serve as President or impeached.

The Truth is Out There:


On December 11, only 15 percent of Americans — the lowest number ever — say the U.S. is currently winning the war. And for the first time, a majority (53 percent) believes it's not likely that the U.S. will ultimately succeed.

Sixty percent think that Iraq will never become a stable democracy — the highest number ever — while 85 percent now characterize the situation there as a civil war.

Sunday on CBS’s Face the Nation, former Secretary of State Colin Powell said he agreed with the Iraq Study Group that the situation in Iraq is “grave and deteriorating.” He disagreed with incoming Secretary of Defense Robert Gates’ assessment that the U.S. is neither winning nor losing in Iraq. “We are losing,” Powell said.

1. Not sure where he'll be, but I'm sure his therapist will consider
that phenomenon be *'s true first "breakthrough".
