[H.Akston]

When and who with, do we sign the peace treaty, after we win?

What was the mission in '03, and what is the mission today?

What objectives besides regime change and removing the threat of WMDs from Iraq have we not accomplished?

This is a different war indeed. I would venture to say that it is so different that it can never be won or lost, the way conventional wars are won and lost, since it has no conventional objectives. It's an ideological (vs. territorial) war against a global death cult. You can cut and run from a conventional objective in a conventional war. "cutting and running" is conventional language which comes from a conventional understanding of what war is. We should talk about diversion, application, prioritization and conservation of our warfighting resources rather than cutting and running. Most Freepers are concerned with applying our limited resources in the most efficient manner for defeating the global death cult (GDC). Most conservatives are not interested in providing welfare.

It most certainly can be won, but not until we realize that we are at war with allah, and not nameless/faceless "terrorism".

Perpetual War!
