Are we at War or Not?

You all know that I believe this 'war' in Iraq is one of the biggest blunders the U.S has ever started-it is now time to accept the fact that we broke, now we own it. Although I severely disagree as to how we got here, it is time to kick ass and take names. Everyone agrees that there is no good solution to our current position. If we broke it, let's fix it! It is time to put this nation on a 'wartime' footing. Instead of asking Americans to 'shop', it is time to ask America to go to work. During WW2, at one time we were able to launch 1 'Liberty Ship' every day, Americans actually sacrificed time, taxes and family to ensure victory. We had clear goals. The surrender of the Axis forces. Now we need a clear goal in Iraq. Control of that nation! No more politics. First we need to take control of that country from border to border. That will require sacrifice from Americans. Why can't we have a 'war' tax? Why can't we supply our troops with the best defense against IED's? Why can't this nation manufacture what our troops need? If we can't do these things, then I say we are not the 'superpower' that is being reported. We need leadership from the president! All he has to do is ask and Americans would respond. There is an end to what America will support if there is no clear direction. Please Mr. President, give us our marching orders and we as a nation will respond if we have a clear goal. Our goal should not be anything less than stability in Iraq, whatever the cost. We broke it, now lets fix it. I'm in,how about you?
