Well, its Iraq. Everything else is second. Was the invasion of Iraq a mistake? Maybe. Should we have played to win? Yes. Do we have the stomach to win now? I am afraid to ponder an honest answer to this question.....

I am afraid to ponder an honest answer to this question..... No, it has taken too much time for an inpatient America where the political opposition politicized the war and then negatively magnified by a hostile media. A war that's 1 out of 10 on the war intensity scale.

Do we have the stomach to win now?No. Up until tonight, I was sanguine about the war. But now, it doesn't matter if American troops never lost a battle, American public opinion would demand the withdrawal of troops in a year.
