Surprise! Top US Commander in Iraq says things may get worse in Iraq before they get better

You think? And how many years do we have to hear this? It's been 4 years of things getting worse so that they could get better. They're not getting better. Though it is interesting that our top military commander in Iraq just flat-out contradicted George Bush and John McCain's assertions that things were getting better. Now we hear that they're not getting better, and can't get better until they get worse first. So which one is it, are they getting better or worse?

It's Terri Schiavo all over again. We are having an ongoing debate about saving a patient who is already dead. It's over. George Bush and the Republicans gambled and lost. It's over. Iraq is lost. It ain't pretty. It's a blow to our national ego. But guess what? We have a president who is an idiot, and he just lost us a major war.

We're screwed, folks. And the Democrats are the only politicians willing to tell the American public the truth. You want four more years of war? Keep listening to the Republicans.
