The War We Have
You have to see this video. You really, honestly have to see it. It is in wmv format, however, so some people might have a problem if they are not using Windows Media Player. Pamela Hess, the UPI reporter who I posted about a while back has just returned from Iraq. Her description of what she saw is important. Her description of why it is sickeningly wrong to simply walk away from the war is even more so. It is not about whether we should have gone to war in the first place. That debate is long over and meaningless now.
This is the war we have. Not the war we wished for or the war we didn't want at all. This is win or lose. And if we lose, and a withdrawal will be losing, a lot of innocent people will die as a result. The blood of those people will be on the hands of the people who forced the withdrawal. Period.

Saddam Hussein violated everything. Everyone seems to forget when we kicked his ass for storming into Kuwait.
Not the war we wished for or the war we didn’t want at all.
He stood up; we knocked him down.

Hess says, at one point, that her getting emotional is unprofessional. To be human and humane trumps journalism school any day, good Pamela.
