I can see future slogans now -- "proudly winning in Iraq since 2003" -- like it's a carpeting business or something. And that if McCain/Palin got in, they would keep their "winning in Iraq" scenario going for as long as possible to wring every last drop of political capital out of it, until there's nobody left who can be fooled anymore. The fact that we're dealing with human beings doesn't even matter. Every American should be outraged.
