Please, send me what you have that shows me that we are winning. This isn’t sarcasm. Show me what says what the specific goal of this war is, because the happenings in iRaq simply can’t be seen by most of us, first-hand.
You only joined today. I’ll give you a pass for not being aware of the obvious. Allegra e said she was leaving on vacation so here’s some advice. Use your search button and search for all kinds of threads on this forum that show we are winning the WOT.
You’ll find those threads linked to relevant articles that will provide the documentation you need.
One thing about FR; we respect those who perform self help.
It's late at night here and I'm beginning a long sojourn tomorrow. Look up postings by FReepers SandRat and Tennessean4Bush for starters.
...because the happenings in iRaq...
Is that a typo or is that some new Apple-inspired spelling?
While Barry McCaffrey is a retired General, he has been highly critical of the US Role in Iraq and very critical of the Bush Administration's prosecution of the Iraq War. You can read, therefore, in one article, a synopsis of his findings during his visit in November 2007. This will give a current non-rose-colored-glasses view from a long term critic of the war.
If you have more philosophical questions, along the lines of "what was our original purpose there and are we achieving that?" then that is another question that I would be happy to trade opinions with you in a civil manner. However, I don't have time for mere gainsaying revolving around "no WMD, no Jeffersonian democracy, etc., therefore whatever outcome there we can't have supposed to have won." But if you are truly looking for credible sources of articles on what is being achieved there, I have plenty to supply.
