War lies exposed here...

A doozy of one here...

Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker went off-script today in a stunning moment of candor, letting Americans know that "we're closer to the beginning than we are to the end of all this."

Recall Rummy a few years ago, his "six days, six weeks, I doubt six months" that the war in Iraq would take? Three years later, and we're closer to the BEGINNING than the END? Wait a minute here... something just isn't right. I can't put my finger on it, but... I think three years is longer than six months. Just a hunch.

But Schoomaker didn't only go off-script once. He let another one fly, this one as an answer to a simple question: Is the U.S. winning the war in Iraq?

His reply: "I think I would answer that by telling you I don't think we're losing."

I think I would answer that by telling you I don't think we're losing."

Wow.
