Hey McCain, explain "mission accomplished" to me again.

Many delusional experts can explain how to go to war. Experts confer and tell the President to send in American troops. Simple. As Karl Rove said you go to war with the army you have, so no problem there.

The experts seem to have forgotten that we didn’t win a war in Iraq or Afganistan or, in the distant past, Viet Nam .

They didn’t notice that this isn’t your grandfather’s war against a united country with armed forces distinct from civilians.

So where can we turn for advice on this important question?

I seem to have forgotten the country whose internal religious war have been concluded peacefully by the intervention of another country? And in less than a generation or two.

What I do remember is how many terrorist groups have we wiped out during theAmerican war on terror. None.

Well, John McCain, Karl Rove, et al. I’ll be waiting for your answer.
