The war in Iraq is over for America. No, the fighting goes on, but we are just marking time -- at a huge cost to our soldiers, our country, and our prestige.

No one now can claim mission accomplished -- or, more problematically, explain the mission.

America has not only lost too many soldiers' lives, we've lost our moral high ground.

I love this country. America is a gift. But this adventurous nation-building experiment has run its course. I have my Support the Troops sticker on my car, and I believe the best way to support our soldiers is to responsibly bring them home. Now.
