I noted with interest that the President intents to send another 20,000 or so military men and women to their possible death or maiming in Iraq. I want to make just a few points.
A- This war was won when the Iraqi held elections. We promised them a democracy and from now on its up to them to keep it. We are not there to referee a civil war.
B- If "mistakes were made", should someone not be held responsible. Like the Secretary of Defense who was told over and over again that things were not working out?
C- And finally: This war will, as always, be paid for with the blood of the lower and middle classes. When the presidents daughters enlist for officer cadet training it will be OK for my grandchildren to go. As long as they stay home, I hope my grandchildren do too.

Something I have noticed over the past couple of weeks, is that he is talking about a surge (like 20000 all at once) but is saying that they will go in by drips and drabs. (that doesn't make sense-you can't have it both ways) I wonder if it isn't somewhat true, that he wants Congress to stop him, so he can say it's their fault.
