6. So, what are those good news stories? Seriously...
Did we bring any power plants up today? Did some schools that had been previously bombed get re-built and opened up today? Did no women or children die today on the way to the market or school?

I'm just curious what "good news" there is...and can they honestly say that the lives of our US soldiers is worth it? Can they say that the budget cuts here in the US that are hurting our citizens are worth it to fund this war and "mission" to stop the spread of Al Qaida? (Oops, wait, what percentage is it really that they say the makeup of the insurgency is of Al Qaida?)

Are we being successful? What is success again? (That we kill more of them and stop them from taking over the world? What are the measurements of success?
