Oh, what a fuss conservatives made when Barack Obama said the United States has "wasted" the lives of its troops in Iraq. (Check examples of the outrage here and here and here.)
Let's see how these same people and others of their ilk respond to John McCain's statement on the Letterman show last night about American lives having been "wasted" in Iraq.
The truth of the matter is that Obama and McCain are both right about the waste of lives. To acknowledge that fact is not to deny the bravery and dedication of the troops. The troops didn't dream up this ill-advised mission. Their lives have been wasted (or at least endangered) by the neo-cons in the Bush administration who stuck them in the middle of somebody else's civil war.
