I wanted the US to be sucessfull in Iraq.

That's why I want to throw the incompetant boobs who blew any chance of success out.

You're doing a heck of a job Rummy!

At this point, there is no good outcome, but it is sooo easy for Islamic extremeist to play the current situation to their advantage. Just like North Viet Nam they have an endless supply of cannon fodder and even more of a philosophy of martyrdom. They don't care about collateral damage and our combat power is severely limited by it. They have no limits on murdering our innocent sympathyzers; they can sabotage your every attempt to build good will. At least half of the population sees us as a foreign occupier.

How are we going to 'win' ?

The opposition has no central government we can take over. We couldn't actually control the ground without, what, a million troops. How can you stop the American body count? What number will the American people accept before it become failure becomes recognized by even the most ardent Bush supporters? At 100 a month you'd be looking at around 30,000 by the 08 elections. Hell, John Kerry could get elected at that rate.

Ths attempt at nation building was lost in the first 6 months when the US chose anarchy over compromise. And when you screw up your job, you are supposed to get fired.

If you ask me , well what the hell are we supposed to do now? I'd say move into secure bases, provide training and support, come to the rescue when absolutely needed by forces you trust and start coming home. It sucks but we screwed up and we can't fix it.

I agree there are no good solutions to Iraq. This was pretty much doomed from the start with terrible planning and terrible motivations.

it's a big tent, and while i don't agree with everything Bush does, almost uniquely among contemporary politicians he understands who we're fighting and why we fight, and has the courage to ignore the polls and work to get the job done. he may not be entirely successful (but he's had little help in that regard), and he may have made some tactical mistakes (we should be much more ruthless in our war waging, and we should have long since neutralized syria), but he gets the big picture. if a single democrat could articulate the same unwavering focus on the WOT, i think you'd see a vastly different political landscape.

You're mistaking rashness for decisiveness. One thing we should prize in our leadership is wisdom. Something sorely lacking in this Admin. even if you think going into Iraq was right.
