Curious cripplecreek, what are your views on winning the War in Iraq?

We’re winning.....despite facing weapons sold to our enemies by our good friends in China. Too bad McCain doesn’t have it in him to speak up about that.

What makes you think McCain will get war funding with a 70+dem majority house and filibuster (including the RINOs) proof senate?

I'm curious...if you can tell me. Why is "Mookie" still sucking perfectly good air? Why is the SOB still living, and breathing? Why is he permitted to live?

Ditto for that Cuban SOB 90 miles southeast of FL on that tiny dot of an island. How about that sawed off little leftist down in Venezuela?

Why?

Winning a war involves issuing forth enough violence to make the enemy want to cease from violence. You know this. You must.

Don't insinuate that McCain is the man who's going to make the War in Iraq "all better", or even a little bit better. His record shows that he's not likely to do anything that conservatives would hope for.

Nobody from America will be permitted to "win" that war. The people won't allow it. The American public won't allow it! But not for reasons that you might think. They won't allow it because too many of them are too fat, and too lazy, and too used to living on credit, and pulling cash from the ATM, and having "stuff" and lots of it and having it NOW. They're shortsighted, lazy and cowardly. They lack the intestinal fortitude, commitment, and insight that would even permit them to consciously approve of a 15 or 20 year plan for a country in the current condition of Iraq.

But five years is about the limit of their forgetful, fat, easy to appease, dull brains. They can comprehend five years. But five years isn't enough. You know this. Strategists and planners who know how to rebuild countries in a condition such as Iraq know these things. But they get no attention from the MSM, or (strangely enough) the U.S. State Department. But somehow, the amazingly unbelievable notion that Iraq will be "normal" in five years has gotten through to the American citizen at large, and anybody who doesn't support "The War in Iraq" is somehow less than a good citizen in all political circles here in America.

So before asking if anybody wants to "win" the war in Iraq, be honest with yourself and consider whether it's even feasible with the shift we've seen in this nation over the last 50 years. Is it possible that we definitively win ANY war ANYWHERE these days? I say as long as politicians run the battlefield instead of Generals, that it is NOT possible!

We should have "CONQUERED" Iraq....let the USMC permanently fly our flag over its soil, seized its oil wells for our own use, and then blatantly and generously shared our military presence there with the IDF and IAF, and let the rest of those hostile nations bordering KNOW that their day was coming!

But we did not. Instead, we have reduced ourselves to the current low state of debating on-line about some RINO presidential wannabe and the merits of how he's going to help win The War in Iraq.

How sad.
