RE: Let's win this thing...

Tanya: Do you want us to win in Iraq or not? We're there; let's win the d**n thing and then we can get out... You're a quitter; I'm not and this country's not... Say it (The Iraq War) was a mistake, so what? We're there now; let the military do its job and kick some butt, then we can get out.

And there you go. 'Yeah, being in Iraq was probably a mistake, but I don't have the courage to say it. I must speak loyally of the team.'

The United States Department of Defense is called the United States Department of Defense for a reason. How are we defending ourselves in Iraq? We're not. The only reason why we should stay in Iraq is because we demolished their infrastructure and we owe it to them to rebuild it — that is if the Iraqi people even want our "help" anymore.

The more I read what you write, the more I'm convinced that you're a nationalist rather than a conservative.
