let's see - 44 US troops dead already this month (and the month's not half over), at a cost of nearly $2 billion dollars per week...for a war that his own people have concluded is unwinnable...to pursue a foreign policy goal that his own people have concluded is unachievable.

but you think the Prez should not acknowledge the reality of the situation, regardless of how many more Americans die or what it costs - because it's politically expedient not to do so. you and the rest of the GOP true believers are really hitting bottom here.
