Do you think the United States can win the war in Iraq?

[alfredo]

This is the question on http://www.cnn.com


So far 20% say yes

80% say no.

[opiate69]

1. Voted.. 18% - Yes; 82% - No

:kick:

[wtmusic]

2. By "winning" I guess they mean flowers and candy

and hearts and minds all those other mushy hallucinations they once entertained. Never, not a chance.

[alfredo]

4. Unrestricted access to their oil?

[wtmusic]

19. Of course, if you want to be all honest about it

you went and spoiled the whole hallucination!!

3. enemy army taken down, enemy government no longer there, we did win

We are not waging war there, the "goals" of the war have been achieved. We are now policing, if you can win that, surely some police departments would have won by now and be shutting down. :shrug:

[alfredo]

5. We can't even disarm the armed militias in our cities,

much less in Baghdad.

Armed Militias = Gangs

[piedmont]

7. I agree. Define "win" and define "war," and I might have an answer. nt

[PerfectSage]

6. Nope, The US can stay till hell freezes over, but they won't "WIN"

What is the bush strategy for winning in Iraq? Besides letting the next President take the blame for leaving/losing.

14. I voted - there was a little note at the bottom

It said "less than half think the US can win in Iraq". WTF? Less than half? how about less than fucking 20%? How about practically nofuckingbody thinks the US can "win" (whatever the fuck that means) in Iraq. Why do we even bother? Bush has caused the US to lose this war.

15. sorry about the stutter!

I was at work. I'm lucky the pcs work at all.
I kept clicking until something happened.
It was rather more " define a win" than I needed

[sutz12]

16. Wow, 95% NO....personally, I think we've already lost.

:ahrug:
