Stand Down when They Stand Up?

NOT SO MUCH! This administration has screwed up big time! The cost of this fiasco is staggering: lost lives (both American and Iraqi); lost wealth: the generations the it will take for this country to dig its way out of debt; lost reputation around the world (our reputation will suffer for generations); lost confidence in our government (the voting public has never witnessed such manipulation of facts); lost confidence in our press; lost confidence in our voting machines; war profiteering; and on and on. And here’s a News Flash: Iraqis will never be ready to stand up! Why? Why should they? They are perfectly happy to see the American soldiers get killed rather than themselves. Oops! This administration didn’t think that one through.
