Cable TV Propaganda

I saw a local Republican Congressman, not identified as a Republican, being interviewed in a Time/Warner room on CNN--a local public service message.

The Congressman said that the terrorists would just "hold out" for an end date (this "argument" just makes no sense since this is a civil war in Iraq, and I don't think anyone thinks that the "terrorists" aren't going full tilt there now).

The Congressman said that we should continue fighting because the people who have already died would be dishonored if we left without "winning."

How does he look in the face of a soldier now, he probably doesn't, and say, "Um, you have to continue fighting and risk your life to honor those who have died before you--nevermind that this is a war created and continued with lies."

Even if our soidiers WANT to die to honor those that died before them, should we allow that?
