You use this woman as your mouthpiece. You don't like the war so you use her. The cut and run crowd are ostriches who want to wish away reality. A reality that we need MidEast oil and want to make it more secure for us. Rather than having the extreme Muslims calling the shots.

Wars are difficult and require staying power, not self indulgence of ones emotions.

This woman deserves more respect. She's lost a husband in Iraq. How many relatives do you have in the war, Mr. Macho Man?

So you say it is all for oil? (Those Iraiqs which say so all the time was right then).
150 bln dollars for war in order to secure oil? Just calculate how many oil one can buy even with double price for $150 bln dollars.
FYI year supply of oil for US in current price costs around 25 bln dollars. So United States already wasted money equal 6 year oil supply.
Is it shrewd?

Sorry, churchillbuff, I misunderstood who made what comments. I guess my above message is addressed to the people I listed in the "To:" rubric. Thanks!
