Editorial: 16 years












Despite promises and hopes and protests and demands and costs financial and costs in blood, the Iraq War hits the 16 year mark in about an hour.


16 years going and no end in sight.


If you're running for president right now, you might try articulating how this war ends because, thus far, it doesn't.

16 years.  And now it's going to be 16 years and counting.

How can you run for president and not address this issue?

You can't.  Not if you want us to take you seriously.

So far, US House Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is the strongest.

The Iraq War has to end.  If you can't figure out how to make that happen, you shouldn't be running for president.
