Who will be the last to die in Iraq?

This Is Bush's Vietnam

When the newscaster David Brinkley, appalled by the carnage in Vietnam, asked Lyndon Johnson why he didn't just bring the troops home, Johnson replied, "I'm not going to be the first American president to lose a war."

George W. Bush is now trapped as tightly in Iraq as Johnson was in Vietnam. The war is going badly. The president's own intelligence estimates are pessimistic. There is no plan to actually win the war in Iraq, and no willingness to concede defeat.

I wonder who the last man or woman will be to die for this colossal mistake.

Iraq has at least one thing in common with Vietnam, it's un-winable and the politicians won't admit it because to do so would be to admit they made a mistake. We know that Bush doesn't admit mistakes so it's time to get someone in the White House who will.
