Is the US winning in Iraq the same way Oceania is winning in Eurasia/Eastasia?

Question

A war where we're winning and where we're always winning. It's never actually won but always in the process of being won.

We are always making progress. Never quite enough progress to end the war but always just enough progress to keep the war going.

Also, either the enemy or the objective always changes and then that's always been the enemy or the objective, and the previous enemy or objective was never the goal.

Actually shilo, it was against ALL forms of totalitarianism and the methods that they use to keep and take power. War is one of them.

Answer 1

Orwell's "1984" is the Bush playbook. I doubt Bush himself has read it, but someone is pulling the strings for him has. The sorry thing about it is that if more of the citizenry in the U.S. had read it also, the Bush administration wouldn't have been able to get away with the crap it does.

Answer 2

Wow, a post that actually makes sense. And you said it very well. I commend you sir.
As to your question, I fully agree. The war in Iraq has all those pieces, the funny thing is that people don't realize it. Our original reason for entering into the war became entirely falacious, and our continuing reasons for staying in it continually changes. It's sad that the majority of our population continues to remain ignorant of what is actually going on. I guess they would rather delude themselves with the same "light at the end of the tunnel" rhetoric from the Cold War, even though that obviously turned out to work so well.

Answer 4

Great. Another person taking 1984 out of context. It's a fiction criticism of communism...get over it.
