“To my fellow Democrat’s credit, we were way ahead of the curve.”

That can happen when you get thrown under the bus.

You’re aware that we won the bulk of firefights with the Vietcong too, right?
Wrong.

We never failed to take an objective. Two different things, but how would you know?

That idea that the Dems plan to march us out of Iraq, exactly as they did in Vietnam, means not a damn thing to you twits.

Ideas have consequences.

We’ve already lost. When the greatest superpower showed that it could not contain looting in a moderate sized city, couldn’t constrain itself from torture, and let a bunch of insurgents terrorize the citizens because the powers that be decided to do it on the cheap, we lost. You’re aware that we won the bulk of firefights with the Vietcong too, right? But like then our leaders had no clue what they were doing and felt the best course of action was to just pile more on it. Also, if you look at the results of that poll it isn’t just Democrats who know Iraq is lost – it’s everyone but the last few kool-aid drinkers like yourself. To my fellow Democrat’s credit, we were way ahead of the curve.

have fought in Afghanistan and Iraq with no discernable economic drain on the US (you haven’t seen ration stamps lately have you?)

Well of course not. We just borrowed a trillion dollars from China.

“Regardless of what action Congress takes concerning Bush’s troop increase, the poll shows that most Americans believe the outcome in Iraq has already been decided. Sixty-five percent say the United States will have to withdraw and leave Iraq without a stable democratic government there. By comparison, only 27 percent say the U.S. will prevail and leave Iraq with a stable government.”

Why on earth?

Our military has won every direct confrontation with Al Qaeda and other Islamic terrorists or militias, and we have fought in Afghanistan and Iraq with no discernable economic drain on the US (you haven’t seen ration stamps lately have you?) Our losses have been surprisingly low, and so have Iraqi civilian losses, considering that 58,000 Americans and somewhere between 2.5 and 5 million Southeast Asians lost their lives during the Vietnam war.

If we quit Iraq, it will be because we chose to surrender, not because we “lost.” I can’t imagine why a majority of Americans think that surrendering to Al Qaeda and Muqtada Al Sadr would be a good idea.

Then again, I’m not a Democrat.

He’s still about 27 points above where he ought to be.
