That line is wearing painfully thin regarding Bush's plaything, the war in Iraq.
Everyone, including a lot of the Democrats on the hill, seems to think that ending the war is somehow impossible. It can't be done. There's no way to end it. It'll apparently just go on forever, because no one can think of a way to wrap it up.
This is a ridiculous notion. It's like quitting smoking, you can whine and moan and take a pill or wear a patch or try hypnosis, but the only way to quit is to stop buying and smoking cigarettes. Same with a war or any other human endeavor, if we want the war to be over, it will be.
Should we start a troop reduction? Should we stay until the Iraqis 'stand up'? Should we send more troops to force it to a conclusion? Should we declare victory or defeat and lock up? Is it really such a great mystery?
Bush wants his war, he gets it, and until someone stops it, it'll stretch far into our future and pull us all into hell with it.
How to end the war is not some mystic, faraway impossibility, we simply have to tell Mr. Bush and Cheney the game is over. We hired them, we payed them way too much for their terrible work, and now we fire them, and jail them. That's how you stop this war.
