] 'Bring them on!" President Bush challenged the early
] Iraqi insurgency in July of last year. Since then, 812
] American soldiers have been killed and 6,290 wounded,
] according to the Pentagon. Almost every day, in campaign
] speeches, Bush speaks with bravado about how he is
] "winning" in Iraq. "Our strategy is succeeding," he

] But, according to the US military's leading strategists
] and prominent retired generals, Bush's war is already
] lost. Retired general William Odom, former head of the
] National Security Agency, told me: "Bush hasn't found the
] WMD. Al-Qaida, it's worse, he's lost on that front. That
] he's going to achieve a democracy there? That goal is
] lost, too. It's lost." He adds: "Right now, the course
] we're on, we're achieving Bin Laden's ends."

Great... Now I'm scared. I'm the last person to get scared. Thanks Prez. Please leave office now. You're making US less safe.
