Like what conditions does he judge that? # of deaths = 0 for a week??? A thriving economy?? Electricity on 24/7???

What exactly has his definition of success been if he has ever given it???

1. He's never defined what we win when we win.
I don't think he has planned for winning, either, because he doesn't ever intend for it to end.

13. That's the real objective.
We are in Iraq only because of the oil.

Of course, Bush and his oil cronies can't say that.

5. Nope, and on several occasions he has alluded to a US
presence in Iraq for years and decades.

He has said it will be, "up to future presidents to deal with this", and other absurd statements that have all gone on to describe virtually an eternal state of war. The man is obsessed w/death nad as long as people are killed, he will be more than happy to stick around in Iraq.

7. when the job is done, and the mission accomplished.
he's actually been pretty clear about that.


he's just hasn't explained what the mission is, or how we'll know that it's done.

15. He did say it would be the NEXT president's job
I'm sure I remember him saying that his successor would still be dealing with the war on terra. As far as I can tell that means Iraq in his teeny little brain.

Besides he has zero incentive to end the war. He and his buddies are getting very rich as long as we're in Iraq.

16. I would love to see a groundswell movement to get every journalist
and every congressman and senator to start throwing that very question at bush every time he sticks his miserable ferrety little head out his hole. Because I love to watch him squirm.

18. When Iraq is stable and it's Govt. can handle their country.
He has said that. Of course, when that could be the case is anyone's guess.
