By now, we all know that we are not “really� winning in Iraq. With body counts mounting on both sides, the Whitehouse decided to use it to their political advantage to use it.

On a side note, as of 12/17/2006 @ 14:23 EST, at least 50816 civilians were killed (max of 56315).
With that said, who in your opinion is responsible for the mess in the Middle East? Comment or poll.
