Wow, one little comment and it sets the board off. OK, let me try again. During the Bush presidency humiliating Bush became more important than beating the terrorists. Terrorists were called "insurgents" and were referred to as "freedom fighters". Why? Because in a fight between Bush and Abu whatever, they were routing for Abu whatever. Now every body here is going to jump up and down, but it is true. I bet you that there were politicians on the Hill that would wake up every morning, hoping to read the news of another IED going off and killing couple of US troops, then run to the microphones and say I was against the war. Reid would never say "the war is lost" if his man was in the White House. When you say such a thing, you are betting on losing the war to reap the political benefits. What else explains the deafening silence of the Democrats when the war turned around? Oh, about fighting them there vs. here ask the Talibans if they want the US out or not. The have no trouble answering the question.
