I think you have been listening to Ron Paul too much. Better face it. This stand in Iraq is the test of our metal. George Orwell once said that “The fastest way to end a war is to lose it.” Is that what we want to do? Then, the tactic that they have played in Iraq will be played forever. We need to learn how to win the asymmetrical war because it can be played wherever it will hurt us the most.

Read Senator Lieberman’s editorial. Tell us where it is wrong.

Lieberman is a liberal Democrat. I don't take my cues from liberal Democrats.

We are fighting the enemy on their terms. Asymmetrical warfare is an advantage to the smaller force only so long as the superior force does not use the same tactics. If we gave the order to our military to destroy the enemy in 6 weeks, they would do it. This is commonly known as winning a war. We are not fighting a war in Iraq but are acting as a police force for civilians. This is not our job and is extremely costly. We are not even attempting to "win" the war in the conventional sense of "winning" a war.
