That Unwinnable Thing

When a long-time Democrat suggested last week that the war was unwinnable, wingnuts jumped all over him, questioning his patriotism and dismissing it as politics. They cared little that the man is one of the relative few on the Hill who bothered to ever fight in a real war, so perhaps knows a bit of which he speaks.

But this article in The Post today has a subtitle of "U.S. May Be Winning Battles in Iraq But Losing the War, Some Officers Say". It's a long piece, but an important read.
