Everyone agree that education is a worthy objective. Literate and knowledgeable children are goals everyone can agree upon.
The Iraq War was a bad idea from the start. Iraq posed no serious threat to the people of the USA, as the lying leaders told us. Then they told us that it would all be over shortly, and instead, their incompetence and crappy intelligence turned it into a violent civil war.
We all know that this war is costing huge amounts of money, and we know that we will never see any advantage of having spent this money. It is now causing inflation of our money. The sooner it is over, the better it will be for all of us who are not members of the privileged oligarchy that is raking in billions from corruption, no bid contracts and the like.

No matter how well Petreaeus fights this war, it will still result in a waste of money for a really bad idea.
