Obviously, the time has come to cut our losses and run. Civilian support is waning and the media incessantly pound out a negative message. It's no longer worth the effort. Consider: 220 dead (a third of those in one horrendously bloody day!), 16,202 injured. How many more before we realize that this war just isn't worth it?
Iraq? No. The United States of America. The year: 2001. From the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, 2002 -- the number of law enforcement officer casualties throughout the country. These are stats you'll have to look really hard for in the leftist media.
