What the hell does WINNING in Iraq mean to voters who support the war?
What does WINNING look like to the average Republican voter?

How do we know when we have won? I

s this some sort of sports event with rules that I'm not aware of?

I really don't get it. When the average Rah! Rah! "Patriot" looks at the situation, what the hell do they see as the point where we say we've won this contest? Will the clock run out? Are we playing to a specific number of points? Are there innings?

Please help me understand this, because every time I hear the Preznut talk about how the only way to win is to stay in Iraq I just about blow a gasket. What the hell does winning mean anymore? Better yet, what the hell did it ever mean?

How does anyone buy this shit? A lot of poeple obviously do, and it scares the hell out of me that I have to share the title of American citizen with these dolts!

1. Winning means
we keep the oil and they get to die for trying to live on top of our oil.

2. The murcan-war supporters want to see a Christian nation
estblished in Iraq (disguised of course as a democracy). The main object will be two-fold: 1) abolish the Muslim religion and contruct southern Baptist churches throughout the land, and 2) immediately pass a law banning same-sex marriage.

4. The definition of "winning" apparently keeps changing
In order to understand this, you must be an unthinking, brainwashed robot.
These mindless people scare me even more than the politicians who are dictating to them.

8. Agreed...
I'm more afraid of the voters than I am of the politicians.

5. Winning means a stable, democratic Iraq. But what happens
if they decide to vote for Al-Qaida?

6. Like the elections in Palestine, where they (oops) voted in Hamas.
Democracy can be messy.

7. Okay, but at what cost?
At what point do they realize that "winning" actually means losing?

9. Winning means every Iraqi citizen is dead and we run the country
because that seems to be the plan.

10. I would like to read what Victory in Iraq means from
some Rethugs. Do any DUers post on other boards where these Rethugs post?
