It's hard to find any kind of silver lining in this ongoing disastrous fiasco in Iraq, but here goes. How about a long lasting death of the GOP itself? One that spans, lets say, two or three Presidential elections? Not that even this wet dream come true could ever make this all even remotely worth the cost. The cost of 3992+ wasted American service members lives. The cost of another 32,000+ wounded, many with life changing injuries. The cost of 600,000+ innocent Iraqi deaths. The cost of America's reputation and image around the world. No, never be even close to worth it.
