the question is who are we winning against? for? who are we fighting?
If we were in this for terrorism, than Iraq should have been the LAST place to hit.

They are in the middle of a civil war that has nothing to do with us. We can not win a civil war for them.
The terrorist were in other countries and are now in and out of Iraq since we started the war.
I am not sure what it is we are supposed to win.
If we are there to fight terrorism then we have lost. The more we stay, the more terrorist groups are growing.
because we are in Iraq, they are signing up left and right.
It seems the people do not want our way of life and you can not force them. They have been fighting over religion for thousands of years and I don't think we are going to stop it.
We are in there country fighting a war for what reason?
Weapons of mass destruction that were never found or freedom for people who don't want it?

Well I never would have went to war with Iraq. I would have made up with Saddam and got some cheap oil from him. I mean he kept his people in line and hated muslim nutjobs. Since that point cannot be reversed well yes we can win, but not with the way it is going on now. Basically the hardline approach is the only way to win.

The war was over about 2 weeks after it started. We are not in a war, what we are doing is police work. Do we need to police Iraq? I don't think so.

people would like to be able to move and talk freely. I would say that they only real reason it hasn't been a total victory is because of factions that want to be able to keep these same freedom seekers under their thumbs, win the war,eventually freedom is better than dictatorship

Can you define a win? Because that is the first problem right there...
Democracy has never been imposed on a nation successfully in all of recorded history - it won't be in Iraq, either.
Is it defeating the terrorists who hit us on 9/11? Because most of them were Saudi, and Iraq had nothing to do with it.
So define victory and we will achieve it. But until then, no. It is a bottomless pit.

The War on Terrorism started on trying to find Osama and defeating al Qaeda..
Now we're in Iraq trying to run their government but our target isn't even in Iraq.

Nope!
It is not a war..............it is an invasion of Iraq.
Big military cannot win in this day and age..We would have won by now, if it works.
Also it has turned into a religious war...Sunni against shiite
? [spelling may be wrong].
Time to leave now, before more people die.
This invasion was never begun truthfully, so it cannot succeed.
Let's hope Iran isn't next!!

we lose either way (stay or leave)
.. the hope is that Iraq will one day be able to sustain itself ... that is possible, although not probable
