Americans may not mind being lied into a war, but we sure don't like to then lose that war.
The Iraq War is lost, and at this point the blame falls entirely on the Bush Administration. Why aren't we pounding them for having lost this war?
Remember how they blamed liberals for "losing" China, and then Vietnam. In Iraq, the timeframe is still entirely on the Republican watch.
By asking NOW who lost Iraq, we can leapfrog a pointless debate on whether we have, in fact, lost it, and pin the blame where it belongs.
