No Colon, we're not losing in Iraq. We've failed, that's all. |

There he goes again with that 'losing' shit, as if this were all a football game, to be won or lost. I believe him like I believed him when he held up the fake white powder on the UN floor before the 'war'.
Go team go just ain't gonna cut it anymore coach. What are we losing? Young men and women that's what, the dead are lost forever, they lost big time. What else is America losing? Trillions of bucks, that's what, but we're not losing the big game. When we lose trillions, a few hundred fat cats WIN BIG!
Please, please, please you bunch of assholes, stop using the words 'win or lose', because that's just obscenely childish thinking.

1. The problem is of course one of expectations and possibilities |
|
What the individuals who initiated this war want to have happen is simply beyond expectation. Freedom and Democracy are just campaign slogans if the people are are trying to free have their own ideas that are different than yours. Those insurgents you keep trying to kill are the citizens of the nation you invaded. They are not some inhuman thing that is ok to kill. They are the people you attempted to kill into freedom and democracy. And they do not appreciate it.

I'm sick of all the snappy one liners and bumpersticker explanations of this bush war.
Our whole language has been hijacked, and lofty words being thrown at the fire do nothing to help.

4. If this is a football game, then |
|
Bush's soon-to-be-announced "Surge" plan is a Hail Mary play.
One of the problems with this win/lose shit is that is works well with the sheeple. Sports being a big part of American life, win/lose is only natural.
But one question will always be there:
How can you lose something you never had in the first place?
