The classic example is the family ordered in shouted English to slow down at a checkpoint and when, for whatever reason they don’t, a nervous soldier opens fire, killing mom and dad, leaving screaming children covered in blood in the backseat.

Given that Wehner worked for a president who pre-sold this war with a willful campaign of misrepresentations about Iraq's WMD capabilities and ties to al-Qaeda, it's tough to take him seriously when he frets aloud about the loss of public trust. But just as "corrosive" for the nation is a triumphal consideration of the war that does not take into account the profound suffering experienced by the Iraqi people.

If we weren't in Iraq & Afghanistan the radicalization would still happen, the terrorists hate us.

After enough hours of hearing Liz Cheney talk about how rad her dad is, and reading enough of Friedo’s disgusting columns, people will start to believe this crap.

Now, as Iraqis prepare to vote in parliamentary elections on March 7, his path to another four years in office has become increasingly uncertain, his campaign erratic and, to some, deeply troubling.
