You don't negotiate if you're winning.....IF your winning......if...you are winning.

Well, we had 5,000 plus American killed in Iraq - for nothing - so what's a couple more thousand killed in Afganistan - for nothing - they're just 'like cattle'.

George Bush got his wars ('cause he's a War-President), our kids got killed ('cause they're too naive), and the Fraud-In-Charge will make political hay over it ('cause Americans are too stupid to know they're being played).
