The marginal cost to win in Iraq is so small, it's a slam dunk! Complete
victory in less than 3 years! Don't you agree?

I would if Iraq were about to become an Anglo-American democracy, or even a
western European one but it is not.

Iraq was a secular dictatorship under Saddam. As such it was a bastion
opposing Islamic extremism in the middle east. There were no WMDs after the
UN ordered them disposed of. There were no terrorist training camps. Al
Qaeda was forbidden! The only terrorism Saddam sponsored was paying
pensions to palistinian suicide bombers who targeted Israel. Then came Bush
.....

Under the new constitution Iraq will have the same kind of government as
Iran, with the same kinds of people in charge. Iran elects a parlimentary
government similar to Britian's, but there is a "supreme court" comprised of
radical Islamic Mullahs which decides if each law conforms with Islamic law
before it goes into effect. Iraq will be the same. Iran sponsors terrorism
throughout the world, providing safe haven and training for terrorists. Iraq
will be the same.

Call that "complete victory"? Hell, Bush has done more for bin Ladin in
Iraq than al Zarqawi has - and killed 2000 Americans to do it!
