And keep in mind that if you say "coming home is losing" you are merely admitting that you are so deeply brainwashed that there is no way humanly possible for you to admit that Iraq is a complete failure.

People would be dying on both sides, infrastructure would go to hell, no one would seem to be in charge of the Iraqis, fuel prices would shoot up... oh, I get your point. These things are happening.

In a loss, Iraq would look a lot like Sudan.
War lords on the loose killing other warlords. Some financed by Saudi Arabia and others by Iran. Turkey would expand it's territory into Iraq.
The new target of illegal military action for the Liberals will become Afghanistan. Nobody will last long enough to get that job done either as NATO partners will see the handwriting on the wall and start pulling out. Every pocket dictator will come to the realization that the Yankees, as predicted, don't have the stomach for long drawn out conflicts and will pull whatever trigger they have from Kosovo to China in Taiwan.
There will be little concern about reprisals for continued 9-11 type attacks.
Yep, losing would have a completely different flavor.

If we were losing, these are some things you might see:
- Casualty rates are so high that a draft is considered to keep the fight going.
- Imagine a map of Iraq being drawn once a month, colored to show what areas we control. Our areas would shrink over time.
- The government that we provided security to setup would no longer be in power, they would be replaced by some other force that was working against us.
- Death toll statistics for our side would continually rise.

Brainwashed? I think you are the one thats brainwashed by the media. Have you spoke with people who have actually been there? We are making a lot of progress, and everyday more and more civilians there are actually starting to appreciate the troops. All we see is the media's portrayal of doom and gloom. Yes I admit that there are a lot of things that should have been done differently, but giving up now would only solidify peoples beliefs that the troops died for nothing. It would also bolster the terrorists because they predicted from the start that the American public would turn against the war, and we would leave. Deaths are down, and so are attacks against us, because we sent more troops. We should have never had that small of a force there to begin with. But the media won't stay too long on that subject because they are afraid of being labled pro war, and they are so anti Bush, that they will never admit that it's working.

A super Islamic terrorist state composed of Iraq, Iran, and Syria with nuclear weapons and an entire population not afraid to die for Allah. This debate is so ridiculous.

the reason you and so many like you have a hard time comprehending what it takes to win a war such as this is because it's not conventional warfare... this is guerilla warfare.. and it's on a global scale.. and the enemy is religious fanatics.. we've never been involved in a conflict such as this.. NO ONE has. guerilla warfare is difficult in of itself... the Russians tried and failed against it... the British tried and failed against it.. several times.. my point is, how can you gauge a complete failure if it's never been done??? i see a country on the gradual climb to success after decades of murder and oppression.. i see a beacon of democracy that can plant a seed in a region torn apart by death.. i see a war that has VERY minimal military losses compared to ANY other major conflict in the last 300 years.. there is alot of successes going on in Iraq and Afghanistan.. you might try talking to people that have actually been on tour of duty.. they see it, so should we... too many people are listening to the wrong groups. even Democrats finally admit that we are on the winning side of things... so, if we do bring all the troops home now, it would be losing.. everything we've accomplished up till this point would be for not.. Iraq and Afghanistan would be lost to our enemies.. and the region itself would essentially be lost.. have the vision my friend.
and people talk like occupation of a country after war is new thing... and a bad thing.. neither of which is true.. so sad that people forget that we have occupied quite a few areas after the fact and i've not heard the single breath of discourse over any of them... and we've occupied Iraq going on 6 years.. that's nothing compared to the occupation of Germany, Japan, and Korea.. people need history lessons for sure...

I would like to ask a question, but first let me put down guide lines...
1. If you don't say you agree then you are brainwashed
2. if you say bring home the troops you are brainwashed that you cant admit Iraq is a failure.
3. I am right you are wrong
4. My question is really a statement not a question
OK, that said, please be honest.....

Because you cannot see the whole picture is no reason to be insulting. Iraq is only the tip of the Middle East problems. It will be 20 - 40 years before you see what is going on begin to be fixed. Peace

That's only a low level liberal view of Iraq but then you don't have the balls to enlist and see for yourself so keep thinking your lying thoughts all you want and leave the winning up to the people who actually know better.
