The Iraq debate isn't some college contest to see who comes away with the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship belt. There's no scorecard to which our esteemed elected representatives ought to be checking to see if they are winning. When it comes to Iraq, we have a major problem needing a solution not a fight in the middle of the night whe
