Mr. Bush, Sir...
You have invaded Iraq to deal with weapons of mass destruction. none were found.
You have changed the rationale to "freedom for Iraq". Your Defense Secretary has just said that you are not in control of at least 20% of the country. CNN
Is this not an admission that the US has effectively (politically and diplomatically) LOST the war?
