| What is so tragic is that the war is lost, but no one can afford to admit it. So, in the next day or two, lots of good US marines will loose their lives and even more women and children will die, and for what?
I read this morning an article in the NY Times about the five miles of raod between the Green Zone in Baghdad and the airport. It is one of the most dangerous roads in Iraq. The US hasn't even been able to secure these five miles of highway. I also read about new attacks in Samarra, the town that the US and Iraqi forces allegedly "liberated" last month, to much fanfare. The rebels are back, surprise, surprise. Also in the news, 21 Iraqi policemean were shot dead at a poice station and 12 National Guardsmen were kidnapped and murdered. And yes, the US is bombing hospitals. All in the name of a "free Iraq."
We can kill Iraqis and Iraqis can kill us, but we can never win this war. How many deaths will it take before American, red and blue, wakes up and says enough?
