That's my point, terrorists root for no one. We're all infidels. They have no plan, no strategy other than kill people and break things (literally, not as Rush used the phrase). They are simply incompatable with the western world, and the sooner we get used to the idea the better.
I'm with you. But I fear it's going to take more terrorist attacks on US soil for people to understand.
Nobody would believe a victory claim.
The U.S. will try to negotiatve Iraq partitition into Shiite, Kurd and Sunni states with shared oil revenues, followed by immediate U.S. withrawal to Kurdistan and Kuwait. If it can't negotiate a deal, it will withdraw anyway.
