t r u t h o u t - Frank Rich: One War Lost, Another to Go

Wake up Mr Blair. Try the real world Mr Reid.
You lost your war.
The Americans are running.

You will have to do so as well.
Do it now, before any more of our troops are killed for nothing good.


t r u t h o u t - Frank Rich: One War Lost, Another to Go: "One hideous consequence of the White House's Big Lie - fusing the war of choice in Iraq with the war of necessity that began on 9/11 - is that the public, having rejected one, automatically rejects the other. That's already happening. The percentage of Americans who now regard fighting terrorism as a top national priority is either in the single or low double digits in every poll. Thus the tragic bottom line of the Bush catastrophe: the administration has at once increased the ranks of jihadists by turning Iraq into a new training ground and recruitment magnet while at the same time exhausting America's will and resources to confront that expanded threat."
