pete	when the fat lady sings...there is no fat lady...She got killed in the war along with so many other americans....58,000 +....you never really know, there are problably more dead than they admit Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

leikevy	Winning is easy. Just bomb the cadoodles out of Iraq...except thats not the point of the war. The hard part is getting the Iraqis to get a grip of theirselves and THEN we can pull out. It takes time for Iraqis to build confidence in their new government. I didnt agree on going to war but we have done our damage, we can't do more just by leaving right now. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mack j	they never admited that they couldn't win the vietnam war,they just left.the same thing is going to happen in iraq.the real question should be why wont the president admit going to war was a mistake. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jesi	They are not trying to win anything... they are fending off the radicals until the newly elected government is strong enough to remain viable after the US leaves. The Iraqi president already said he doesn't expect that the US will need to continue in their role of peacekeeper beyond next summer. And at the rate deaths are mounting we would be in Iraq another 17 years to reach 58,000 fatalities. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Grown Man	About five minutes after you elect a president and other political leaders that are looking out for the best interest of the country. Do no accuse the military of anything! They are following the orders of the government. PERIOD. How about some support for those who defend your way of life? No I don't mean just Iraq. I mean everytime some 3rd world back-water country decides it wants to flex it muscle, but then backs down when they realize just how fearsome our fighting force is. Get out and vote, spread your views by encouraging friend/family to vote. Either back a good candidate or run for office yourself. let's get those self serving ingrates out of office and our soldiers home. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ted_baumen101	The situation in Iraq i sfar more difficult than simply winning and lsoing. Withdrawing would not technically constitute as a loss because Hussein and his militaryw ere overthrown, which was one of the main goals, however lawlessness has ensued. The warlords and gangs, most fundamental islamists, are vying to turn iraq into an islamofascist stae based on the supreme ayatollah in IRan. If this were to happen that would be aloss for thw whole world because it would increase IRans influence in th region and undoubtably the NOC's control of oil supploes. A victroy is not defeating all the insurgents, but stablizing a democratic soceity and building up enough of a military in Iraq to let the federal government fend for itself. On that note the current prime minister of IRaq is doing a bang up joob given his situation. However America should not pack up and go home ebcause leaving would be dangerous to US national security and wolrd nationla security. It would ensure the spread of islamofascism and create a breeding ground for terrorism undoubtably supported by IRan. A situation similar to what happened in LEbanon following Damascus's decision to withdraw. Iraq needs to survive so the US can show that democracy will work in the middle east and that would be the dealiest blow to terrorism and tehran. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cjlintexas	has nothing to do with the military. It is the politicians. The military could wipe that country out in a week and come home - not a bad thought if you ask me. Of course that would mean killing civilians which is politically incorrect. islam = death cult Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

froggy	They will NEVER admit the cannot win regardless of how many people are killed. Eventually things will seem better or we will be told things are better and our troops will be brought home. However, I dont think it will really ever be a peaceful place. As soon as outside troops are gone, things will go back to how they are and were. There will be some group, whether it be a past leadership or a new one waited for the right time, that will take over and oppress the people again. A fair, law abiding government CANNOT compete with a terrorist group that has no boundaries. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Negrodeus	When the rich white people tell them to.... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dustin b	Fuc* off dumb *** Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

salabuchi	They can't just walk away, it will be a disgraced to the Iraqi people. Al-Queda will find a way to destroy the western powers like the United States and Britain. I think the Iraqi people should control their problems but is a diffence in their ideas will separate the people. Let's pray for the families of the military for the sons and daughters who are sacrificing their lives daily. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

x-factor	when we elect a new prez Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Schmorgen	When will you start dating and leave your crusade behind you, pillow pants? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

~life sucks~	IT IS NOT THE MILITARY THAT DECIDES THIS. OUR LEADERS HAVE PUT OUR TROOPS THERE AND IT IS OUR LEADERS' DECISION TO WITHDRAWL THEM. It just irritates me to no end when people blame the military for this or for that. My husband proudly served in Iraq. He took orders. He also saw the good that we are doing in that country, things the media doesnt show because I gues building hopsitals and schools and educating these people don't make good ratings. So, you need to redirect your question to our great president and other politicians. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

turboweegie	Gee, sodomite, another less than educated question? Right now, this is a counter insurgency operation, as major military operations against an enemy army have really been over for years. Because, you see, a US victory is not dependent upon eliminating every last Democrat-supported terrorist insurgent. Victory for us is when the Iraqi government is strong enough and secure enough and capable enough to continue the fight on its own, and asks us to step down. That is our target for declaring success. Because the Iraqis are increasingly capable, that's why we are talking about downsizing our forces there in the near future. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kekeke	The same time when the political scene stays out of it, never. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Carrie	Excuse me could you paraphrase the quesion..Win What? I mean who exactly are they fighting? Iraq posed absolutely no theat to us whatsoever and any other country. They were a soft touch, crippled economicaly by a decade of sanctions. Children were dying through lack of medicines.Food was in short supply. Iraq needed help, aid, medicines, not war. Sure Saddam was a dictator, but there are many dictators around the world, we don;t invade their country. The invasion and excuse for war was basd on lies, doctored evidence. Not sanctioned by the UN. As a result our brave young men and women, and yes we do support you guys! have died and have been injured and maimed in their thousands...and for what? why? The contry is a mess on the brink of a civil war. At least 40 or 50 die each day.100,000 have innocent died. The Iraq war was/is a massive crime against humanity. Bush and Blair have not apologised, admitted their mistake or apologised to the parents and families of the soldiers who have died neddlessly in this illegal unjust war. Do either of them have a conscience? No. They are both warmongering cold blooded men who are driven by green and agression. They will go down in history as war criminals. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Are you for real?	You say that were not winning in Iraq. maybe because all you know about over there is what you see and hear from TV.War isn't like a Video game. were doing more over there just just fighting battles. O yea i forgot the Media never shows all of the Humanitarian aid we give to these countries. that's right that stuff doesn't sell papers. All I know is myself and a lot of other soldiers are tired of hearing people say that we're gonna lose and they've never been there. they complain about the problems in this world but never do anything all they do is sit at home complaining about how the world is going down the drain and yet there the ones who never vote and are on federal assistance. And are under the belief that the Government owes them some thing which it doesn't Whiners need to wake up and use there freedoms to make a change in America and in this world instead of using there freedom of speech to whine like a child when they don't get there way. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

zclifton2	The military well never admit it can not win in Iraq. The question is, under the rules of engagement, can the military win in Iraq? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lilac	They will not Caz they dont want to be embarrassed.And they said they are in this war Caz they want to make Iraq free from Saddam Hussein...but now hes gone....so their work is finished.Why are they still in there?Plus many soldiers are dieing. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Samer EL SAWDA	They can when they elect a new president... an anti-bush president!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

nelson c	Probably when one of these scenarios happens 1. until way too many innocent lives are lost 2. until money runs out. 3. til things get way out of control 4. when they get enough oil out of iraq and there is no more need for occupation there. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jasmine	Can we ever win? If we leave then it's a hotbed for terrorists and anyone anti-america. A victory and training ground for them. They will look at us as a weak people and that we will give up and run away if things get too tough. If we stay then the terrorists will fight over there instead of over here. If we can gain control then we have a possible ally in the Iraq government should they get their act together. If Saddam hadn't played games then we would never have been put in this position. We all know the UN wouldn't do anything. We were attacked first. Going to Iraq made sense at the time. We'd probably be better off if not for some of the military errors. I still support our president and our troops. I hope we can gain control and work with Iraq to help them rebuild. That the Iraqi people can have stability and the freedom that they want. That Iraq would be our ally in the MiddleEast which I'm sure is what the government really wants. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

MEL T	They can win in Iraq. When will the American people and the liberal media allow them to win? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

adamtosman	The military is winnig in Iraq. Its a war, this is a tame war compared to what our grandfathers have gone through,.Stop being a dirty liberal queer and start supporting the country that gives you the right to speak openly about it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jeff L	that's our entire arm forces in Iraq. if it takes that long for them to know we cant win I say nuke the hell out of the place and restart from scratch and take all the oil for ourselves. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

krazystang96	When someone actually remembers that we are helping out the other team! Screw this, why help keep them alive, I'm from KC, so I'm a Chiefs fan, but if we were playing the Raiders and we decided that some of their players were "good" people, would we help those run the ball! We don't need allies that are going to stab us in the back! I support nothing about Iraq aside from us protecting OURSELVES, personal opinion and feelings, nothing more! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

star_gazer	LOOK iraq is full of terriost.LEBonon has terriost.AND IRAN IS funding the terriost people.SYRIA is no better. so what do you want another 9-11? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Rat P...	the left-wing liberal insurgency strikes again!!! at least muslim terrorists are willing to die... liberal terrorists are too cowardly for that... they just talk smack on the internet. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

p_l_gray	Hey dumbass..... It's not a military decision. Just like going to Iraq was not a military decision. The military is an extension of foreign policy used at the discretion of the executive and legislative branches of the government. When we people learn how the government works before asking pathetically idiotic questions like this one? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Rale	they will never win.............but they will sacrifice every last one of us to try to obtain something that is not even there Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
