It seems to me you can have wasted effort... or you may have wasted resources,.. but to say that the lives of our soldiers are wasted is just wrong. IMO, it's just not the same thing. Lives are precious and the lives of our soldiers who have died in this battle can never be considered a "waste". That's just going too far. Even if you think the war is misguided, a sham, or whatever, for the sake of the families of our soldiers and those who are still fighting in Iraq never say their lives are being wasted.
