Did I hear him correctly? Did he really suggest that a war can be won or lost like a game of chess? Is he really so arrogant to believe that his actions as President can change the fate of an entire region, especially when there is NO ONE who wants us to be there?
Voting is not an indication of a budding Democracy any more than parenting a child is an indication of maturity. Anyone can hold an election. Anyone can parent a child. Having these things turn out well is a result of careful planning, serious time investments, and A LOT of hand holding. The United States of America does not have the time or money to invest in fostering democracy in Iraq. Just like children who do as they please when their parents are out, democracy will cease the moment we leave Iraq, which is particularly disturbing for the women and children of the country.
The President's assertion that for every life lost more are reclaimed is absurd. Not one American life has been saved by this war. Not one American life has been improved by this war. There is only sacrifice for us. We sacrifice our money, our people, and our souls for a war that has no purpose and no justification. We cannot win a war when we have nothing to gain.

It isn't a war. It's a litany of destruction. Supported by self described followers of the Prince of Peace.
