Perhaps some of you are more in the know and will be able to correct me. But just how is it that we are fighting to win this war. It seems we are more worried about collateral damage within Iraq and lack the will to go after those who are supplying the insurgents in Iraq, that being Iran and Syria.

Perhaps it is not too early to ask Bush to either resign or fight the war to win.

That's the sorriest bait line I have ever seen.

One point: Iraq is not a military disaster, but our involvement there has been a PR disaster. While the left has been trumpeting "Bush Lied! People Died!" for 3 and a half years, the White House has never really put together an effective communications strategy for making sure that we do not lose the War on Terror through a loss of will at home. While his Iraq policy has been blasted on every media organ in the country, the White House's response has been tepid to nonexistent. We won the "war," it's the peace that isn't being secured fast enough, and winning the peace has really been on the shoulders of the Iraqis and their popularly elected government. But the Administration has been uninspired and uninspiring in terms of framing the "winning the peace" effort; either that, or the American people have become tone-deaf, and just want to get back to "American Idol."
