Apparently those who are against the war, those who want out of the war, those who question the war - a number that amounts to 70% of the country - are responsible for the war’s failure. Oh, and Senator Clinton too. In a letter to the Senator, Undersecretary of Defense Eric Edelman attacked criticism of the war.

Someone obviously didn’t pay attention in his high school American History class.
