U.S. soldiers approach a suspect house Monday about 60 miles north of Baghdad.

What does that mean exactly, "the US can win in Iraq." What is winning? What, for that matter, is losing? This isn't a football game. These are all nebulous, media-driven concepts without any definition. I suppose everyone is just supposed to predict what the ultimate mass media verdict will be, in which case, I'm surprised anyone at all thinks we will "win."

How presumptuous of CNN to think that their little poll represents the minds of the American people. It just represents the opinion of CNN poll voters.

We won the major combat phase in record time. The larger struggle against Islamofascist terror - in which Iraq is merely the hottest, not the only, battlefield - will go on for a long, long time.
I think it is possible that we will have troops in Iraq as long after the end of major combat operations as we have had in Germany and Korea.

We already won the war there. Saddam is removed and his army decimated. So are they talking about winning the war for democracy in Iraq?
Yea, I know, there must be a number of terrorists in Iraq.
So then we must be there continuing the war on terror. If that's case, and if we lose the war on terror, it looks like at least half of the Americans polled are earger to give up the war on terror to become slaves of islam.
If that is not the case, and we're just remaining to stop them from killing each other in hopes of creating a democracy amongst savages, then I think we should reconsider our position.

Fifty-four percent of Americans said the Bush administration deliberately misled Americans about whether Iraq had weapons of mass destruction before the U.S.-led invasion believe everything they see/hear on CNN, et al or everything they read in big-city daily rags and news magazines.

We already won in Iraq. Now it's up to the Iraqis to take over. To hear a Iraq vet tell it, he/she is proud of what they've done there, and want to complete the mission. Many have signed up to redeploy there. The MSM has it all wrong, and does not speak for the majority of Americans, IMHO.

Consider this, technically we didn't "win" in Korea either.
Millions of South Koreans live in freedom today as a result of us holding our ground - and not losing.

Americans have been subjected to some of the most effective propaganda ever employed in the history of warfare, promulgated by American Fifth Columnists in the main stream media who share several goals with the
jihadis, specifically regime change in America and a desire to see American power in the world reduced.
Terrorism is just a tactic, a tactic which is effective only upon those personally affected by the terrorist act, UNLESS that act is reported and magnified and discussed and fretted about and forced into the conciousness of millions of people thousands of miles away from the scene of the act. Terrorism depends upon the media for its effectiveness.
Propaganda is a component of psychological operations, which fall under the umbrella of information operations. Counter propaganda is a tactical psyops mission to protect the troops from the effects of enemy propaganda, but strategic counter propaganda to mitigate the effects of enemy propaganda on domestic target audiences is against the law. Our military psychological operators can't help us. The success of the enemy's partial regime change last November means the law will not be changed soon.
Who does strategic counter propaganda for American target audiences?
We do.

I realize that the MSM is disappointed that the number of Americans who have been manipulated into thinking the US is losing this war is so low, but then again, we don't have a single MSM
reporter propagandist as "trusted" as Walter Cronkite, who told the American public that the US could NOT win the Viet Nam war after a major military victory for US troops. He effectively convinced the public that we were losing, which broke the will of Congress (what little there was of it), which eventually led to the deaths of millions of people. However, I'm sure that the MSM will continue to work tirelessly towards their goal of seeing the US Military lose the war in Iraq, and maybe even bring the events (terrorist attacks, IEDs, and mass kidnappings/executions) from Baghdad home to the US!
