It can't be won! Some in the military or ex army colonels knew it couldn't be won. George HW Bush knew it couldn't be won!!
"I'm a war president. I make decisions here in the Oval Office in foreign-policy matters with war on my mind. Again, I wish it wasn't true, but it is true. And the American people need to know they got a president who sees the world the way it is. And I see dangers that exist, and it's important for us to deal with them."

WASHINGTON Jun 26, 2005 (AP)— Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Sunday he is bracing for even more violence in Iraq and acknowledged that the insurgency "could go on for any number of years."
Rumsfeld said it, so I would predict a lot more horror for a long time to come.

no it cant ...you have a society that is 1000s of years old being told what to do by a society of a couple of hundred ...it is futile and mostly about american positioning for oil access...its pointless and will just return to there own ways after america goes ...and america always goes in the end.
maybe the next war can be on american soil ?

We are winning, but there will be more horrors. The people we are fighting-the terrorists-aren't nice people. So there will be more death and destruction. But they dictate it-not the US.

We aren't trying to win; just stabilizing it for the Iraqi forces to take over.

The war is being won.
And this sort of action should remind us why we have to win.
