1. Easy. They put a trash can over their collective head, and run

as fast as they can into a brick wall. They do this enough times so that there is enough reverberation inside their skulls (due to the absence of a brain) that everything else is drowned out.

2. We were also "winning" in Vietnam...

Right up until 1973 when we pulled out.

[acmejack]

7. Yeah, Westmoreland declared we were winning daily for years.

literally a thousand times.

3. Oh My! Can a declaration of victory be far behind?

n/t

4. Well, it's right there in the subhead of the article. . .

they're using body counts to prove our superiority. . . same as they did in Vietnam. Soon we'll have a Middle East version of Philip Caputo's A Rumor of War, and the emergence yet again of an "Officer in Charge of the Dead."

Oh, yeah, I see it all clearly now. . . a vision of victory formed of body parts and lost minds, cast again among the splintered shards of our national psyche.

10. maybe it's the judeochristain buddhist thing I have going on....

but I don't feel like we're winning just because we have caused far more misery.

5. because that is the "liberal" media

anyone who sees and speaks the truth is liberal..

Only Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter and Savage know the real deal.

incase you didn't figure it out :sarcasm:

6. Body counts!

Count the number of people we've killed, call them all "insurgents" even if they're three years old, and say that proves we're "winning."

I thought the Army didn't do body counts?

[killbotfactory]

8. They have to

Otherwise they have to admit to a mistake.

[cassiepriam]

9. If we have killed 100,000 Iraqis...

then I guess we are "winning" if body counts are the measure. But what did we win, the prize for more heinous country, most evil empire??
