For George Bush, winning in Iraq will be when all the Iraqis go to the same church he does.
Adding more troops will not work. In another year things will be worse than they are now. I wonder what he will do then when he sees that adding more troops made things worse. Add even more? Stupidity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Kokopelli think George Bush stupid shitte.

There are several countries still supporting the U.S., but many are leaving this year. They were assigned providences and will be turning those providence over to the Iraqi government so it's not like our allies are completely bailing.
Here are the goals left by the administration:
Less than 15% of the infrastructure projects need to be built. There were 3,200 infrastructure projects that the Bush administration came up with. 85% were completed in August 2006.
To train and equipt the Iraqi police and troops. That should be completed by June 2007 according to Iraq's president.
To hand over providences back to Iraq's government. That's suppose to be completed before the second quarter of next year.
Once all those are accomplished, the administration said that Iraq will have to handle their own security. Also once those accomplisments are achieved, it should be declared a win for the U.S. if Iraq wants to do something else after the U.S. leaves, that should be left to the people of Iraq.
If those 20,000 troops each taught 38 Iraqis to be police officers, there would be 760,000 more police officers by September or October. That number added to the 135,000 police that the Bush administration though Iraq would need, it would come out to about 1 police officer per 30 civilians which would put the hold in clear and hold (how insurgents are fought).

At this point the only way the US can win anything in Iraq is to save as many US lives as possible and that means getting them out of that hell hole. Bush/Rumsfeld never sent enought of them in despite repeated pleas from their generals to send in at least 300,000 troops so thinking you can win the war in Iraq with around 150,000 is a seriously bad dream.

'Winning' at this point is getting out our troops so that less americans will be killed. Iraq is a big morass of insurgents and mixed up politics. It's not worth pouring in more money and troops that will be sucked away, never to be seen again.

Mission Accomplished was already declared, so I don't know why we're still over there. Saddam is gone. There were no WMDs. The Iraqis want us out as badly as most Americans want this war to be over.

The way to win a war is to KILL.
That's coming. Better later than never.
