Can the U.S. win the war in Iraq? email this discussion to a friend?

sillyputty (84)4 years ago

This is from today's New York Times:

---- quote -----
Vice President D*ck Cheney traveled to Ohio to give a vigorous defense of the administration’s Iraq policy in words almost identical to Mr. Bush’s. “For the sake of our own generation and the ones that follow, we have a clear responsibility to press on in this fight,” Mr. Cheney told the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce today. “Our goal in Iraq is victory — with a nation that can govern itself, sustain itself, and defend itself.”
---- end quote ------

Do you think it is possible that the U.S. can have "victory" in Iraq the way that Cheney describes it? If not, why do you think Cheney said what he did?

(By the way, I had to edit Cheney's first name in the quote above because the myLot filter said it violated the terms of use!! Oh, boy. That's one oversensitive filter!)

Never mind what Chenney or any of the team George Bush say. Remember they even tried to tell people, just before, the invasion that they were not invading Iraq? But it did not hold for long, did it? Now, it is, "we are not losing; we are not just winning." Heartless, mean-spirited, cold blooded pirates!

Greed and deception never brings victory to anyone! The 2003 invasion of Iraq was unnecessary and groundless! The invasion of Iraq was simply a costumary revenue generation for the imperialistic British and US governments - the pirates/plunderers/ true terrorists can deny all they want, but the fact remains that as the people of the invaded nations become aware of the ulterior motives for these senseless wars, they will make the invaders pay for recking their lives!

I really think the only chance for world peace is if democracy sweeps through (at least) some of the middle east..
