"The US war in Iraq is lost and a further build-up of US troops in the country will not recover the situation"
Is it really lost? I can think of a couple more options, can you or should we just get the funk out?

the war was never lost, it's just people never understood the objectives, which were always met:
create as much mess as possible, suck out the oil, never allow the country to recover. Transfer as much money as possible from US budget to private companies producing all kinds of military equipment.
I bet even maintenance parts for f16's cost billions.
How's that lost?

I don't think it's lost at all when viewed from that prospective. Sure, people with money made even more money, but wasn't there a "noble" excuse when the war started? Isn't there still room to make some positive changes even as we pull out?
I'm just sayin'

I guess, another objective was to set up a camp in the middle of arab world. It turned out to be stepping on an anthill.. but I can't see how this was not a part of the plan
Let me quote again:
The Dude: It's like what Lenin said... you look for the person who will benefit, and, uh, uh...
Donny: I am the walrus?
The Dude: You know what I'm trying to say...
Walter Sobchak: That fucking bitch...

I think the US is at the point where the Sheriff throws the coffee mug at the Dude's head.
"Like, OW! Man!..."

yesterday the ultimate solution came to my mind:
people should lay down their weapons, smoke a big peace-pipe and become friends.
