Bush Admits Mistakes Were Made

OK! Now that the President said mistakes were made can we come together to win this war? If we want to guarantee the loss of life in support of this war counts for something we need to complete the success that our military has reached to this point. We should not have animus towards the people who are against war if their position is based on principle. What we need to fear, and not allow to win the day, are the people who are against the war because President Bush is for it. It is time we called to task the people who are using this war for purely political reasons. Many of the foes of this war argue it is Vietnam all over again. They are right! The loss of the war in Vietnam resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths among innocent civilians. Many in the antiwar camp are suggesting we do the same here, leave without guaranteeing the people of Iraq have a chance of survival. Cutting and running is not a strategy, staying and building a strong Iraqi defense is a good strategy and is what America needs to leave as a legacy.
