When people go on and on about what a mess Iraq is, and what an idiot Bush is, I get upset. Not because I necessarily disagree, but because of what it says about us as a country. We no longer have the fortitude as a nation to win a war. September 11th was so five years ago, and we have our head stuck in the sand, not wanting to hear that this war will either be fought over there or over here.

"Doves believe that the choice is between fighting and not fighting. Hawks understand that the choice is between fighting now or fighting later." - Bill Whittle

So I can't stand hearing people practically celebrating our defeat (and Bush's downfall), saying, "See? We told ya so." Yeah, congratulations. Come get us, terrorists! We won't fight back with any real force or committment.
