President Bush is scheduled to give a speech tonight in which, despite the chaos and car bombs and rising daily attacks by insurgents, he’ll argue that everything is going well in Iraq and we should stay the course. Republican Senator Chuck Hagel said, “It’s like they’re just making it up as they go along. The reality is that we’re losing in Iraq.” What do you think? Are we responsible for staying the course no matter the cost or have we done what we initially set out to do and it’s now time to pull out?
