To HELL with saying "We can't win the war in Iraq"
We've already LOST THE WAR IN IRAQ!!!

We LOST the War in Iraq the moment we invaded with nothing more than a battle plan and a dream of flowers and candy.

We LOST the War in Iraq when morons in charge of the situation decided there was no need for an exit plan and decided it would be a "cake walk".

And to top it off, months and months before we ever even invaded, we LOST the War in Iraq the moment an idiot in charge of the fiasco decided it would be okay to LIE our way into a War in Iraq!!!

1. But don't you know?

America has never officially "lost" a war. Why start now? Our national pride needs to remain intact, even at the cost of our integrity and hundreds of thousands of lives.

</sarcasm>

2. I'll take it one step further. It's not a war.
There is no enemy. We tell the Iraqi police to "stand up". Stand up to who!? Those are the Iraqi people. If it's a Democracy, let it be a Democracy and allow them to fight it out. We had a little thing here too called the Revolutionary War and it ended in our own experiment in Democracy! Let them have their own chance!

How come in the leadup to the election, it was never discussed what we would do if a Islamic fundamentalist state was voted in? Huh? Why not? Because the vote was rigged, we don' want a real demcoracy, just a puppet dictator (like always), that's why.

5. Since all candidates in the election must be approved by the U.S.
it would be a Democracy In Name Only.

3. Oh, well... win some, lose some... hey! Let's have another go at it!
Let's invade Iran and Syria!

Hey, look, we NEED that pipeline! That special pipeline, out of all the pipelines, that will finally bring that Caspian basin oil into an ideal place for shipping.

10. That's what I say: We Won
Mission Accomplished, and all that.

It's over. All that is left is a process of nation building, and that is something the US should not be involved in. Nation building is nothing but 'Big Government' and who's in favor of that?

12. Agreed
Let's have Iraqis pay Halliburton to rebuild. That should make everyone happy. :-)

13. You should be arrested and tried for treason.
;) Just kidding. You're right and the RWers are grasping at straws here. THEY KNOW we have lost...they're just trying to turn the attention to the Democrats and get it off of Cunningham, Delay, Libby, KKKRove, Frist and the endless corruption in their party.
