"Shun And Scorn"

Boy, I'll be that Iran and Syria are quaking in their collective boots by threats from the "realists."

Democracy in Iraq? Who cares? Not James Baker, or the New York Times, obviously.

The only way Iran or Syria will be shunned and scorned by the world is if Michael Richards somehow ascends to the leadership.

Baker et al are the same bunch of geniuses who left our 1991 invasion of Iraq to be finished in 2003. Margaret Thatcher was right about that one.

There sure are a lot of people around who want us to lose.

Jonathon, since you don't want us to "lose", can you please deinfe exactly what "winning" in Iraq means to you? What is the end-state we are looking for?

Oops..make that "define" in the last post...

Jonathan

What are you doing to help us "win" in Iraq?

"Can you please deinfe exactly what 'winning' in Iraq means to you?"

A suggestion...

American objectives a.k.a winning in Iraq:
+ remove Saddam Hussein from power
+ eliminate WMDs and offensive warfighting capacity
+ start Democratization process
+ popularly elect Iraqi government
- ally with Iraqi government in the war on terror
- integrate Iraq in to the global economy
- nurture and effective Iraqi government
- prosperous Iraq stabilizes region
