Those claims come from people who are mentally inflexible, which is to say authoritarian personalities that cannot recalculate based on new information.
They have a plan for a multi-ethnic parliamentary Iraq. They will not deviate. They will not partition. They will not LISTEN to their own GENERALS. The murders and bodies don't matter. The fact that no one will defend the border does not ring any bells or inform them that there is no nation to be built.
Good explanations can be found in Kevin Philips "American Theocracy" and in John W. Dean's "Conservatives Without Conscience."
Those who make and support this "winning" strategy in Iraq are in for a shocking surprise on the evening of Tuesday, November 7, 2006. Watch the news that night and you'll see how much confidence the American people now have in these claims of "winning."
And take a look at THIS, an editorial insisting Rumsfeld be fired. It will appear in the Army Times, Navy Times and Air Force Times on Monday, Nov 6th: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/indexn/detail?blogid=16&entry_id=10582

We can't and people are just now waking up to that fact. We have wrecked a whole country and what have we saved? It has cost us a fortune...money better spent on health, education, welfare, Katrina right here. They may have wanted and needed help but not occupation of their country...that should have told us right there there was a problem. Saddam's sentencing is tomorrow but it was Osama we were after and still at large. The Army Times is calling for Rumsfelt's resignation today. It's about time. I hope the November 7th election will wipe them all off the board so we can get out of Iraq by will of the people.

How can anyone claim...? Its not just anyone who makes such claim ... What makes the claim worse is the fact that it is being made by the PRESIDENT of the United States. What doea that say for his integrity? His intelligence? He eitehr knows its a lie or he is so much more stupid than he initially had us believe! The most ludicrous aspect to all this is he continues in this stance as if nobody has a TV, or Radio or internet. It is going yo get worse. Then only way the UScan save face is if they impeach Bush... and blame his behavior on altzheimers or something like it... I dont know, maybe they can come up with a more creative disease or excuse. You never know maybe with an all DEM congress and Senate, they can Impeach him and make him the "fall Guy", even though he is not the "fall guy," but "THE guy."

I have some friends there and they would disagree with you.
Subject: Washington D.C.
If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq Theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington immediately

Hey, remember what the Communists said? You can't make an omelette without cracking a few eggs.
A few. Ha ha.
Population control. Let the good times roll.
If we had the weak ninnies you all are crying about the war, back in WWII, the Germans and the Japanese would have won.
See what happens, you pull out of Iraq. Just see what will happen.

BBC did a good segment today on the waring factions in Badgag
The reporters definitely had gut to go into some of the areas.
But I'm glad Bush is back on "Stay the course" It's a good plan. Well prepared and thoroughly executed.
GO big Red Go

If the president was not such a manipulator and hadn't misled us in important matters...I would say to dig in and really do this...increase troop strength, give a big show of force to Iran...but now that he has misused the public trust how can we as a population support something that seems immoral...how can we use more force in a situation we have caused in the first place.

read 1984, the party is telling us that we are winning. But we are not there so all we have to go on is what the media is telling us. Its going to take a lot of work. We went into a country who's culture is completely different and tried to change their government into one that mirrors ours. Democracy is a gradual thing, it took us 200 years and a civil war to get where we are.

Things are going awesome over there. It is that damn Liberal media that is not telling us the whole story. I just bought a beautiful time share there. Look the President said we would spend well over a gazillion dollars and lose about 2 million troops before it was over anyway. Its all lies, lies I tell you. It's John Kerry's fought anyway.

The question is not "are we winning?" The question is can the US afford to lose? I see a lot of people on here that hope we lose, so they can win an election and say we told you so. I really don't think they know what losing will mean!
