Day of Victory?

"Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary."
-Mahatma Ghandi

This surge in Iraq will not work, and it seems as if Republicans in congress are even realizing this. The Republicans are jumping ship faster than lemmings from an island. Now, even two republican senators are backing up the democratic position of pulling out of Iraq. Is it now that the Republicans are getting it? We were in Iraq for a false reason and was a completely illegal war. Now we are in this war that is a complete drain on our resources. By staying in there, we are making ourselves less safe by giving Al-Qaeda goal giving them a recruitment boom. Because of this they are up to pre- 9/11 strength. Not to mention it is practically making America bankrupt. It is time for congress to bring out troops home, not only because this war is making us less safe, but because this war is wrong. We can win every battle in our way, but we can lose the war in the end.
