The issue is not because of the casualties as casualties. It's because the casualties are so wasted.Originally posted by Drake Tungsten
The casualty rate in Iraq is insignificant. The fact that it's as big an issue as it is just shows how much perspective we've lost as a society.
Everyday, our chance of winning diminishes.
Not only that, even if we do somehow snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, what will we have won? Essentially, the "least worst" we can hope for is that Iraq will become a Shiite quasi-theocracy (which will oppress the Sunnis and Kurds).
This is a stupid war, which we were taken into by stupid men for stupid reasons.

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment
