    RE: Reid and the Lost War

    Reid and others need to reference the arguements made by Gen Odom (ref: WaPo and Hugh Hewitt) when they talk about the state of this war.

    I find Odom's line of thought so compelling that my automatic rejoinder of "the catastrophe that will happen if we leave" is "it is going to happen whatever we do, anyway."

    Without the political component that is just not happening, we just are not going to win this war. It is not about supporting the troops, it is about supporting the diplomats, and the Bush Admin is not doing that at all.
