The wedge is being driven deeper and the space between whether or not we should be in Iraq is getting wider. The Commander in Chief gives adamant lip service to supporting the troops, but turns them into pawns in his political chess match. First he needlessly sent men and women into war and tried to deceive them regarding the merits of their sacrifice. He has repeatedly extended stays and now (against the corporate wisdom of Congress) refuses to give the troops any light at the end of the tunnel. And while the blame game heats up in Washington, DC, men and women continue to die in Iraq.
