We've going to be in Iraq a very very long time. The enemy is too smart to be baited into an all out offensive. They will pick and pick and pick our troops apart piecemeal for as long as they can. Every time one dies Bush has a grieving family on his hands. Sooner or later someone will throw that remark in his face. Better he simply sated U.S. resolve to see the job to a successful conclusion.

IMO, that's exactly what he did.

Maybe the Commander in Chief should have said, I was wrong our military isn't the best in the world...They can't win...it's useless...nice try but you have failed all of us here at home miserably. You men and woman in uniform just are not up to the task ! I am saddened, deeply saddened...I am going to decrease our military and start a new Department of Peace...The cowards in our country have WON !
