Iraq

Two quotes, from the WSJ, just representative of many.

"It's like they're just making it up as they go along. The reality is that we're losing in Iraq."--Senator Chuck Hagel (R., Neb.), June 27, 2005, U.S. News & World Report.

"And we are now in a seemingly intractable quagmire. Our troops are dying and there really is no end in sight."--Senator Ted Kennedy (D., Mass.), June 23, 2005, Armed Services Committee hearing.

And I have to wonder. Will an American kid be blown up a month from
now because an American senator gave a pep-talk to boost the morale
of a dispirited bomb maker?

Why don't you just send them the detonators senator?
