{OT} war on war is lost

After a series of legislative defeats in 2007 that saw the year end
with more U.S. troops in Iraq than when it began, a coalition of
anti-war groups is backing away from its multimillion-dollar drive to
cut funding for the war and force Congress to pass timelines for
bringing U.S. troops home.

?There was a consensus that last year was not productive,? John Isaacs,
executive director of Council for a Livable World, said of a meeting
attended by a coalition of anti-war groups last week. ?Our expectations
were dashed.?

The meeting, held at an office on K Street, was attended by around 20
representatives of influential anti-war groups, including MoveOn.org
and Americans Against Escalation in Iraq, which spent $12 million last
year opposing the war.

Finally these people have realized the American people have faith in
their President to make the right decisions regarding the War on
Terror. The irrational lefty kooks just aren't able to convince people
of their conspiracy theories anymore.
