none of them are palatable. Either they are fools or they accepted the deaths of our soldiers as "the price of playing the game".

You could argue that they wouldnt' have gotten reelected had they not let themselves be fooled. But to argue that means that they valued their reelection more than they valued our troops lives.

I would rather them admit to being fools or being wrong.
