I agree with Newt, but for a different reason. To me, any war that you aren't fighting to win is a failure. Now, I am not saying our troops aren't fighting, they are. I am saying that the PC, lets not hurt anyone's feelings/can't do this or that crowd took over this war long ago and rather than doing what was necessary to win, we have pussy footed around. For example, Iran is a problem in this war, yet is being treated like it was on the dark side of the moon vis-a-vis Iraq.
Your post is not just BS but ignorance AND BS.
