Here's something for the jingoistic folks on this list....
Sen. John Warner (R-Va.): "I hope in the recesses of your heart that
you know that strategy will continue the casualties, stress on our
forces, stress on military families, stress on all Americans. Are you
able to say at this time if we continue what you have laid before the
Congress here as a strategy, do you feel that that is making America
safer?"
Petraeus: "Sir, I believe that this is indeed the best course of
action to achieve our objectives in Iraq."
Warner: "Does that make America safer?"
Petraeus: "Sir, I don't know, actually. I have not sat down and
sorted out in my own mind. What I have focused on and been riveted on
is how to accomplish the mission of the Multi-National Force-Iraq."
*** Shouldn't the ultimate mission be to make America Safer? If our
leaders can't answer that, would you like to take a shot at how Iraq
makes us safer and why we are there? (while you're at it why don't
you give an idea how many years do you expect us to be there?)
Sometimes leaving is the best thing to do. It prevents having
thousands of losses for the same reason.
