What, cheap oil and getting revenge for W's daddy?
This war is not lost! The campaign is actually going quite well.
If by 'the campaign' you mean the scramble for dollars by Bush & Cheney's
cronies, then yeah it's great. However, the overall strategic outlook in
terms of conventional military strength has not looked so bleak for the
U.S. since the British marched in and burned the White House in 1812. We
are heavily in debt, have very little uncommitted strength, and no
credibibility.

Just what type of debt do you really think we're in? If you take the
entire monetary cost of the war, thus far; How many (federal only)tax
income days to the government do you think this war has consumed? And by
that question, lets make sure that we are talking about the entire war all
the way back to day one. I realize that I'm asking someone a question
that hasn't the information necessary to answer, therefore I will answer it
for you. If you take the entire war costs, it would take approximately 6
days to pay for it. Now I will admit one thing, that the Bush presidency
has spent more than any presidency that I can recall, but don't keep saying
or eluding that this war is costing this country in the fashion that you
are, because someone will call you to the carpet about it. Also, when you
say that this is a "....scramble for dollars..." please tell us what you
mean. Its a cheap shot to throw that statement out with out backing it
up. Please tell us exactly what type and amounts of money that Bush and
Cheney have made from this? And BTW, if your going to attempt to bring
Haliburton into this conversation, then you had better do your homework
because I have and am prepared to slam your slander with facts, it won't be
pretty. You also say that ".... overall look of military strength has not
looked so bleak....". Just what do you want us to do to prove our
strength? Shall we go in and carpet bomb some area? Shall we use
nukes? Shall we send in more troops? Just what would your strategy be?
You love to slam the current thought processes, but offer none of your own.
You love to tell of the failures (in your eyes) but offer no change or
charge of your own. Why not participate in the progress of the nation
rather than the sit on the sidelines and yell at the referee. Since you
want us to show our strength, lets go, send in 250,000 more troops, that
should add to the confusion, I mean security.

If you look at the anti-terrorist picture, it's possibly worse. Instead of
isolated bases in Afghanistan, anti-US terrorists now have a centralized
location. Instead of using irrational religious dogma to try and make
recruits hate America, now they flock into terrorist cells with a burning
desire to kill Americans even if it means becoming a suicide bomber.
Instead of learning how to home-brew primitive bombs from books, now they
have live-fire exercises with sophisticated IEDs. Yeah, it's going well.

I definitely like your way better, lets not do what we've done, lets sit by
and wait for them to come to us instead of getting them all together so that
we can easier target them. Yep, you should definitely be in charge.

Unfortunately, due to most of the network news medias bias you won't be
able to see the victories.
You mean, Fox News and the Rush Limbaugh Hair Club For Angry White Men
isn't giving us the truth?
Face facts, the mainstream media now is biased very heavily towards
promoting President Bush and his agenda. How many times have you heard
about how terrible Howard Dean is, and how many times have you heard about
Halliburton's ongoing theft & fraud investigation?
... You might actually have to do a little research to find the truth.
But I can see from the original post, that research would be out of the
question.
I can see from your post that facing actual facts in the real world is out
o the question, so go ahead with your 'research.' Maybe you can tell us
how the insurgency is on it's last legs.

you find out. I'm anxious to see your responses. I love political
