I just can't resist poking at the Republican Party with a sharp stick

I found this news item very interesting.  It makes me wonder if the members of the republican party actually talk to each other.

John McCain has declared that we can win the Iraq war by 2013.  But according to good old Dubya we already won in 2003.  No maybe it's just me but there's something wrong when a political party doesn't know if it has won a war or not.  OR maybe all of the Bushies have conveniently forgotten the image of George declaring "mission accomplished" from the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln.

So now they recant an say "we can win".  How about someone saying "I don't want to play anymore" and taking their expensive high tech toys home.  What has really been accomplished in Iraq?  A lot of death both of civilians and military.  We went into a sovereign country and illegally dismantled it's government leaving behind civil unrest.

Yes I said illegally.  Iraq was a sovereign government.  Meaning independent with no need or requirement to answer to or be liked by any other government.  The very invasion committed was based on a lie.  Yes a lie why do you think he was looking for someone to blame it on?  Unfortunately for Bush he picked a scapegoat smarter then he was since Condi kept documentation.

So now we have a face saving effort by McCain.  People are tired of hearing the war on terror  rhetoric.  People are tired of picking up the paper to see reports of more young lives lost.  The War or terror has lost its appeal.  McCain is left to try to salvage the situation.

He has basically said one of two things with his declaration.
One the president and his advisors are flat out liars, or two the president and his advisors are a bunch of idiots since they were too moronic to know we are at war.
