"But the hard, unpleasant fact remains: we are playing a sucker's game in Iraq, because we are trying to win a regional war by fighting in a single country."

-We beat Osama out of Afghanistan and removed the Taliban from power and planted democracy.

-We removed Saddam Hussein from power and planted democracy.

-We have a very close relationship with Israel.

-Pressure on Syria as forced them to miscalculate with an assasination that got them chucked from Lebanon.

-Pressure on Egypt has further opened the door to democracy.

-Pressure on Libya has forced them to give up their WMD programs.

-Pressure on Iran has them on defense with their nuke program.

-Pressure on the Palestinians has brought them closer to a much more moderate political stance.

-Israel is out of Gaza.

That's just off the top of my head before morning coffee.

Only a FOOL says "we are trying to win a regional war by fighting in a single country."

Any reasoned person should know that the fact that we are up against a REGION means we need a different strategy for each and every country in that REGION- DUH.

I guess for some that hurts the brains too much.

Pressure on Iran has them on defense with their nuke program.

They're out-doing Saddam Hussein. I don't think he got anywhere as far with nukes as Iran has. Iran has little to lose by being "defensive". It just buys them more time.
