Great lines of the day

From Jacob Weisberg in Slate, the four unspeakable truths about Iraq:

. . . the war was a mistake . . . American soldiers being killed, grotesquely maimed, and then treated like whining freeloaders at Walter Reed Hospital are victims as much as "heroes." . . . American lives lost in Iraq have been lives wasted . . . America is losing or has already lost the Iraq war . . .

Emphasis his.
