“It’s a hard one to swallow but consider what you’ll have to swallow with the other candidates. Remember wars end but federal programs never do.”
Wars could also end with a loss.
Yea, but I would rather have someone whose goal isn't loss.
There are two things to keep in mind about the Iraq war. First, it was an elective war. Second, it's almost over. I would not let opposition to the war based on conservative principles (as opposed to knee jerk anti-bushism) stand in the way of voting for the only small government, christian, anti-abortion, anti-socialist, free-trader left in the race.
And they have.
Every "conflict" that we have been in since joining the United Nations, we have not "won".
As long as the U.N. is involved, we will never actually "win".
And since the Iraq war is our involvement in enforcing a U.N. mandate, we won't "win" there, either.
