Just for Ed:

"The Bush Administration has not made it easy on its supporters. David
Brooks
now admits that he was gripped with a "childish fantasy" about Iraq.
Tucker
Carlson is "ashamed" and "enraged" at himself. Tom Friedman, admitting to
being
"a little slow," is finally off the reservation. Die-hard Republican
publicist
William Kristol admits of Bush, "He did drive us into a ditch." The neocon
fantasist and sometime Republican speechwriter Mark Helprin complains on
the
Wall Street Journal editorial page--the movement's Pravda--of "the
inescapable
fact that the war has been run incompetently, with an apparently
deliberate
contempt for history, strategy, and thought, and with too little regard
for the
American soldier, whose mounting casualties seem to have no effect on the
boastfulness of the civilian leadership."


Casualties have been light.

Then more than 5,000 moms would be wrong.

We got back from Desert Storm with every body okay.

About a year later Corporal Larry Hazelwood was murdered in a random act.

He was 22.

I went to the funeral home and saw this fine young man laid out in his coffin
in his dress blues. His mother was so disconsolate that three ladies had to
help her sit in a chair. Her weeping for her dead son was the saddest thing
that I have ever witnessed.

Those 5,000 mothers deserve your sympathy, not your contempt.

There were casualties in Desert Storm.

What contempt? I was merely stating a fact.

5,000 out of millions is a very small percentage.

No. Do you think I should?
