loss
the administration's position is that we can't afford to lose in iraq. which pretty much means we can't withdraw. however the military's position is that we can't add more troops. we're stretched too thin. oddly i agree with both positions. if "we" means "this administration" and not "the united states". i don't care about winning in iraq. what exactly does that mean anyway? we're not going to keep the oil or the land or enslave the people. we're just making people suffer. we started a war. we deserve to lose.
