Max Cleland Speaks the Truth
By Max Cleland, addressing General Petraeus request for more patience, more time for the surge strategy to work in Iraq:This is the fifth year of this war. As a matter of fact, next Tuesday is the anniversary of President Bush standing up on an aircraft carrier, playing dress-up with his flight suit, which he never wore in combat, trying to be the war hero he never was, and saying major combat over, mission accomplished. And later on he said, "Bring 'em on." Well, they came on, surprise, surprise. Have killed over 3,300 young Americans and wounded over 30,000, and over half a million Iraqis have died.
I don't want that kind of patience. It's five years into this thing now. It's time to end it, and it's time to move on and worry about al Qaeda. That's the real threat to this country.

During our Vietnam quagmire -- the war Bush and the neocon crackpots behind him learned nothing from -- those determined to keep the war going indefinitely rather than own up to a botched effort that should never have been made in the first place talked of a light at the end of the tunnel.
So many lives wasted then, for nothing. And today's crop of knowitall fools are determined to keep doubling down and stalling for time until we waste as many lives again. And again, it will be for nothing.
