"We have damaged ourselves to some degree," said Rep. Deborah Pryce, R-Upper Arlington. "The extent of that can never be known until we know the future of Iraq. Minds can change and be unchanged depending on where we end up."
Why won't Pryce say the war was a mistake and it continues to be a mistake? Why won't Pryce say that it is time to end the war? She will not utter a word that has not been approved by the White House, Karl Rove, and the Republican Party. While her constituents call and e-mail her to vote to end the war, Pryce speaks and votes as a puppet of the GOP.
According to http://icasualties.org/oif/:
| U.S. Deaths Confirmed By The DoD: | 3204 |
| Reported U.S. Deaths Pending DoD Confirmation: | 14 |
| Total | 3218 |
It is time to let the Iraqi create their own future. It is time to bring our troops home. Four years later, and Ohio has lost 142 (http://icasualties.org/oif/Statecity.aspx) of our best and brightest:
