We can win, we just have to decide to, and keep the willpower to do so.

I could not agree more Blues, but I am afraid the deck is stacked against that principle. The Democrats have both houses, all the " Gucci people" are eyeing 2008, public opinion polls are down, and I see willpower slipping away.
Rumsfeld essentially by marginalising the professional military cadre has almost brought us to the brink of defeat in two wars. Very, very sad, since by the time he was dumped, the damage was done.
We would have to muster the good people of the US to believe in ourselves again.
I hope we can.
