You are right, truth hurts....it is just such backing off that will cause loss of support for Bush's handling of Iraq. (particularly when the reason we were going after these people was to get the killers of the four mutilated workers).

As Patton said, Americans will not accept a loser.....Americans want JUSTICE and they want it NOW.

If anyone out there thought we were fighting a "perfect" war where everything would go our way all the time, guess what, it doesn't always work that way. However, if you talk to the troops that are coming home from Iraq, or read some of their letters, you get a different story from most. Electric is back, oil is running through the pipes, the emphasis is on helping people instead of building palaces, people have hope for once, the progress we have made should far overshadow the disappointment of not having a perfect wartime trajectory.
