Iraq + The Special Olympics : "Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt."
Bush has apparently finally said "We're not winning, we're losing" in regards to a Iraq, in an interview with the Washington Post. I don't want to lose. I want to win. But I've always wondered - what exactly is winning? I'm mean literally. I really don't know, and don't think the President has ever fully explained it to the American people. Apparently it wasn't simply ousting Saddam, or holding free elections, or any of the other good has come out of the war - are we not winning simply becausewe haven't said what winning is? Is it all semantics?
I'd like a benchmark - when will I know we won? What should I look for? I too want our boys home, and want them back victorious - but I don't think ANYBODY has defined what that would look like. So as it stands victory means no more violence in Iraq and everybody has a pony. I'm not asking for timetables or deadlines, I simply want someone to tell me, "When you see x, y, and z, start getting your ticker tape ready."

I think that "they" thought that victory was the ousting of Sadaam, hence George W. on the jet carrier proclaiming victory in Iraq. But obviously, ever since "victory" was achieved, things have gotten worse and worse, which was either a major oversight or totally unpredictable (I'm going with major oversight).
What I guess I'm trying to say is they went in with a vision or a goal and after they achieved that everything got really bad and now it's like they're just doing maintenance and not really moving forward.
P.S. Participation ribbon - laughed out loud
"Well done, good and faithful servant."
Cue the ticker tape.
If Bush gets "Way to go you fucking moron," he will be getting off easy.
(P. S. can you curse on your blog?)
