Bush Is Losing The War In Iraq ?

When your GENERALS tell you that your are losing, it is NOT RESOLVE to reply 'stay the course'; it is DENIAL.

'Our doctrine is not right. It's just not right. I mean, there are so many things that are out there that aren't right in the way that we operate for this war. And there are a lot of systems that are wrong out there that we had better fix if we're going to beat this enemy.'

GEN. JOHN ABIZAID (CENTCOM COMMANDER)

Army Major General Charles Swannack, commander of the 82nd Airborne, told The Washington Post that at the tactical level at which fighting occurs, the U.S. military is still winning. When asked if he thought we were losing, he said, 'I think strategically we are,' meaning we are losing -- losing the war.
