Didn't we WIN when Saddam's government surrendered?
Why call it a war anymore?

I thought that 'deadenders' myth had been pretty well debunked.

Our troops are the meat in the sandwich of a civil war.
The Sunni hate the Shia hate the Kerds and vice versa.
Whether we like it or not, Iraq will have its civil war whether we leave in 10 minutes or in 10 years.
Bush lied us into a war in Iraq that never needed to be fought. The sequela is a de-stabilized Middle East, 3700 of our soldiers killed for no good reason. Over 25,000 wounded...a third of whom would be better off dead because their wounds are so severe that they will never live even the semblance of a normal life...and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians killed and wounded.
I will never understand how anyone could support Pres. Bush's Iraq policy.

It's still rightfully called a war because between two and four American soldiers are being killed every day (and another dozen or so wounded) by the Iraqi resistance.
Saddamn's government never actually surrendered, and when we disbanded his army, they scattered and began guerrilla resistance. Hanging the president doesn't necessarily mean the end of the war, if his troops don't stop fighting.....

Yes, it's 2 wars. The first one was once for Iran to improvement. The moment is for Iran to humiliate the West. Do you compromise that America retaliated for Iran and provided her Iraq as a ruin withought Iran herself having to battle. And now, the Western World beg Iran to quit its nuclear development and beg her to support in spreading peace in Iraq, Lebanon and Afghanstan. And appear! Who is the loser? and who's the winner. All events have misplaced plenty. The most effective nation that benefited from the predicament is Iran which disdains UN rosolutions and blackmails the West.

Bush and the cons love to call things "war" - next we'd have had a war on diaper rash or something equally stupid.

the has never been a war. it was an invasion followed by an occupation.
right now it's an occupation accompanied with some resistance against the occupying forces and some sectarian violence.
