Let's pull out of the "War on Poverty"

In the month of July, the US has suffered 2 fatalities in Iraq. One of those was from natural causes.

One war fatality in eight days. You'd get at least double that on a warm Saturday night in any "Progressive" City USA.

When are we going to withdraw from the "war on poverty"? If we're going strictly on dollars and body count, the Iraqi War is a tremendous success in comparison.
