I'm watching CNN in the gym this morning. They are all a-twitter over the fact that the preznit finally admitted that we are not winning in Iraq. He also said we're not losing. Coming up on four years in country with him assuring the American people that everything is just peachy, the commander-in-chief now says we are just holding our own. The emperor himself will speak a little later. I'm literally breathless with anticipation. Okay, maybe it's the crunches. I'm thinking this is the beginning of his selling the escalation of the war. It'll go like this: We're not winning, but we're not losing, see, so all we need is a few more troops and a little more time (2 years should do it) and we'll wrap up this war on Terra with a victory for Amurka. Hell, we'd have won a long time ago if it hadn't been for Donald Rumsfeld not sending enough troops to begin with. Boy was that guy incompetent. I guess I was just blinded by my loyalty to him. It's troubling.
