The US can't win the war in Iraq. After 3 years they have yet to |

even identify who the "enemy" is. The "enemy" is invisible, has no apparent command structure, no infrastructure, no address, no uniforms, no traceable source of funding. Anybody who thinks that the answer to this is to get tougher - the rw answer to everything, is crazy.

U.S. If we stay, our presence is the cause of insurgency. Or, What would happen to Iraqis who support us if we declare "victory" and go home? This is another reason this thing is un-winnable.
The only solution that would actually work, re-drawing the borders for separate states for Sunni, Shia, and Kurds will NEVER even be considered, let alone accomplished.
We're damned if we do and damned if we don't. It is un-winnable.

Wow, you can be called a lot of "ist"s.
The republicans call you a lot of things that they consider themselves not to be, but not the one thing that you are and they aren't. That is Pacifist.
They're afraid to be wrong. Losing two major wars in a row...that's rough. But all I personally can say is "I protested the war because it was wrong and un winnable from its conception. At the time nobody knew who was wrong or right. It turned out I was right. So...there's a time when you just have to cut your loses and bring the soldiers home before more of them die. That time is now."
