We aimed to (1) neutralize Saddam and (2) establish a central government friendly to us.

Resources and winning strategies would follow.

Sure thing. $300 Billion, another 400,000 active duty troops, and more Pentagon spending will fix everything now.

President bush would have never lead us into a war which we could not win. Therefore, we will not lose this war.

Interesting how that is exactly what the Japanese were saying about their emperor in 1944!

If we leave Iraq too soon, we'll be back there the third time to complete "unfinished business".

No, that's an extension of the same Substitute-for-Winning Plan they already have.
