We represent too much of the country; communication is useless because now we each have our own set of facts. I don't know how to resolve that problem. I have caught the MSM in too many lies, you evidently feel the same way about the military. And the same comparison could doubtless be made for a variety of sources and topics. Whatever... but it bodes ill for the future of the country. I just deleted two paragraphs on why I think that because I figured "why bother." I just don't want to argue about it any more than you do. And when you figure how many other people feel like this - and we're the calm, rational ones, not the Kos Kids or the Freepers! - how many years away are we, really, from a national divorce?

And what about the vast majority of Iraq that is not only under control, but under *Iraqi* control? Is that not success that should be celebrated and built upon, not handed over to Iranian funded and armed militias? Why are our military commanders wrong when they say that we have not lost yet?
