This is an extremely serious issue. We are making history in Iraq that will have major consequences for the USA and the world for hundreds of years. This is no time for rash decisions.
All this hand-wringing by DemocRATs about the casulties is just so much hypocrisy in my view. If they really cared about saving the lives of young Americans they would support two reforms: 1) School choice, to allow parents and young people to choose to attend safe schools with discipline and order that are not run by murderous gangs and where violent students are exepelled and are not tolerated, and 2) they would support proposals to spend highway appropriations first on renovations of the most dangerous urban highways where the most people are getting killed in accidents, rather then spending money on all these pork-barrel projects in back country rural districts. There's major hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle about casualties in Iraq, especially on the DemocRAT side.
BRAVO!
