Is the Iraq War unwinnable? Indeed, what is winning?

<< < (2/4) > >>

sirs:
If you can't accept that the real objectives are to secure the oil wells as a strategic as well as a possible economic asset, then the whole exercise becomes one of assessing whether the US can achieve a "stable" and "democratic"  and "independent" Iraq, which just begs the question of whether the US should win or not

Start with a false premise and ....... well, we all know the rest     :P

Michael Tee:
You can't seriously be thinking of this as a college football game?

It's a metaphor, (capece?) you asshole.

Nice.  Great example at trying to lead a discussion on a supposed serious subject.  Only 2 posts into the thread.  I guess that's better than just a knee-jerk 1 response before flailing the insults 

Michael Tee:
Well, it's one of the poorest metaphors I've ever seen.
