I wish that Iraq was more like Viet Nam.    Let me repeat- I truly wish that Iraq was more like Viet Nam.    The stakes in Viet Nam were far less.    Whether we won the war or lost the war, there was zero chance of North Viet Nam declaring war on the United States, invading the USA, or dropping a nuclear weapon on the USA.    Unfortunately, that is not true in Iraq.   We cannot afford to lose this war.

Losing this war means the terrorists get stronger and bolder.   It means they have defeated the USA and will generate more terrorists. It means the next time we are attacked, millions could get killed.

Do the American people know that.   I think so.   In a poll taken before the war in Iraq, they asked the American public how many deaths would they accept to win the war and still be worth it.   The result from the American people was 29,000.    I truly regret even a single death, but we are no where near the 29,000 the american people said they would accept to win this war.

As far as "no when died when Clinton lied"- Didn't Clinton lie to us when he told us he tried to get Ossama Bin Laden and missed him by minutes.   So therefore, didn't 3,000 die when Clinton lied?
