He is probably the only Republocrat candidate who stands any chance of upholding the Constitution.

I'd be interested in hearing your detailed definition. I've yet to hear anyone who uses it describe what "winning" the civil war we've unleashed in Iraq looks like. Hope everyone had a great 4th! “Win” is a loaded word, too.

Except that as a general rule, you can't win other people's civil wars. You can annex the warring country, or you can completely obliterate one side or the other, but you can't generally "win" someone else's civil war in ways that the US considers within the realm of the acceptable. So, assuming (arguendo) that the above generality is in fact the case in Iraq, what's the patriotic thing to do if the war isn't winnable? “The best and most patriotic way to end this war is to let the soldiers win it.”
