After most of what few members of the “Coalition of the Willing” that supported the Iraq war to begin with have withdrawn, our largest ally, Britain, is starting to come to their senses: Their top military general advocated a military pull-out as soon as possible, Prime Minister Tony Blair finally admitted Iraq was a disaster*, and ultra-conservative Henry Kissinger who helped architect the lies that got us into Viet Nam has said Iraq is militarily “unwinable.”
But what do the neo-cons want to do? Send in another 20,000 American troops to die for a lie.
*Of course Blair always knew Iraq was a disaster but he’s too much of a U.S. lapdog to say so publicly ’til now:
