Yeah, Republican, what are the criteria for a win in Iraq? Really...I mean WWII, that very unpopular war, well, the win there was defined and articulated as the absolute surrender of Nazi Germany and thge Japanese Empire. Gulf War I, well, let's see - oh yeah, free Kuwait. Very clear...
This Iraq thing, what's the goal? I mean if it's about dominating the middle east at least be fucking honest with the American people about it, like Kissenger was with alot of Real POlitik in the 70's..I hate the way the Republicans underestimate the intestinal fortitude of the general public. Give the Americans a worthy and just cause and we'll take over the world.
I mean, for me a win in this "war on terror" would be to have transformed Afghanistan into a viable democracy and have Osama Bin Ladens head nailed onto a wall...but Osama is what? wandering the hills of that vital democra, oops I mean military dictatorship Pakistan - our friend who sold nuclear secrets (see "giant mushroom clouds") to the "axis of evil".
House of cards built on lies and vanity...
