Telling Moment

On ABC's Sunday talk show, a video clip or Army Chief of Staff Schoonover.

He is asked: "Are we winning the war in Iraq?"

Seemingly endless pause. At last he says: "Well let me just say we are not losing."

I feel for the guy. He doesn't want to lie, and he doesn't want to demoralize his troops. Unfortunately, he pretty much winds up doing both.
