You can't speak the truth?

God I wouldn't want to be a presidential candidate! The simple truth is that a lot of soldiers' lives were wasted in Iraq! If everything was so hunkey-dorey over there, then why were most of the Iraq war vets running in the last election Democrats? O.k., maybe it wasn't the most P.C. thing that Obama had said - and maybe they can still salvage the effort over there. But in my opinion every time we rush troops off to war half-assed, well yes, their lives are wasted.

Appreciating the effort is a good thing, and we should always show our appreciation for those trying to follow the orders of their commanders. But when the commanders - particularly the Commander in Chief and his cronies screw up, we don't have to blindly endorse them in the name of some glorified crusade.
