How would you define "winning" in Iraq?

Question

Just wanna know what people think would be a victory for US.

Well, Ineedyourhelp, indeed you do. But thank you so very much for giving me a long*ss description of something that wasn't an answer to my question. Thanks for playing, though.

Answer 1

"Winning" in Iraq means the Iraqi government can take over and govern the country while providing reasonable security (i.e. no killings based on sect).

Unfortunately, this will not happen. Iraqis will continue to kill each other unabated, with Americans being caught in the crossfire. As one Iraqi said, we'll all kill each other...then the ones who have been lucky enough to flee to foreign countries will come back to clean up the mess...

Answer 2

How can BoxerMan blame the loss in Iraq on the media? The media may be causing the lack of support (by telling us what's happening over there) , but even without the public support, Bush has been getting everything he's asked for, as far as troops and money are concerned. If everybody was gullible enough to support his effort, how would that make us win? The war is unwinnable. A war on terrorism can't be won, just like a war on drugs, or a war on crime, or a war on poverty. There will always be terrorists for one cause or another.

Answer 3

Never in a million years thinking about going over to Iraq for anything at all! That might be a win, but it's hard to say!

Answer 4

Is Iraq War Necessary?

This issue brings on the war itself among the people in this world. In the United States of America, the debated would go on about this war and split the people right in the middle. Because we have a Republican president, everything he does or did would cause a disagreement with the Democrat’s. The president has a hard time trying to make any decision on anything because the liberal democrats make it difficult and try to vote down any bill he tries to pass. The phase of this would be “He’s Damned if he does, and damned if he doesn’t”. We hope and pray that someday we as people of the US would all agree about something. It seems like it would be an impossible thing to happen, but the Bible tells us that someday it will happen. Such a man we do know of, he is the Anti- Christ, he will control the world and hold it in his hand, and everyone will listen to him and do everything he tells them to do. That day will come when everyone will believe, what the Anti-Christ believes, and they will have to follow him. For now, we need to put to thought what is best for us as American people.
Just like a fence would help bring peace in the neighborhood, war would help bring freedom to the world. It might not seem right to many people, but that is how it has to be done. War starts when one side doesn’t want to live in peace.
Jay Dubya wrote about Saddam Hussein and the Iraq.
Dubya explains:
Saddam Hussein’s intent was to invade Kuwait and then take over Saudi Arabia, the same time he wanted to control all of the Arab oil and hold the U.S. and the free world hostage to both economic and political extortion. Saddam Hussein never had a chance to invade Saudi Arabia. President Bush had effectively protected and preserved our unparalleled prosperity and our highly envied American way of life (Dubya).
Hussein did not need all that, but he wanted more, and went after what did not belong to him; war started when Kuwait cried out for help to protect what belonged to them. The United State is a part of the U.N. Coalition.
Department of Public Information Citation:
The United Nations, or UN, is an international organization established in 1945 and now made up of 191 states. With the exception of the Holy See, the sole permanent observer state, all internationally recognized independent countries are members (Department of Public Information).
We have no choice but to help because we had to keep our agreement with Kuwait and the other country in the U.N. Hussein became more of an America hater because we had a president that was not going to put up with his evil doings. Saddam Hussein luck began when Osama Bin Laden of Saudi was the mastermind behind the attack on the World Trade Center in New York City. Now Hussein knew that there was someone else that hated the US as much as he did. Hussein then became Bin Laden’s friend and supports him. We ended up having two enemies, not just one. President George W. Bush try to bring both Hussein and Bin Laden down, but no one knows where Bin laden is at, we went after Hussein because we knew where he was. It’s not like we haven’t gone after Bin Laden, we just haven’t been able to find him. Do you like bullies? I don’t! In the end, we have found out that the presidents’ worst enemies are the ones he is trying to protect along with the rest of the American people, which are the Liberal Democrat’s.
