McCain says that we can win in Iraq in four years! Really?!?!?
McCain is just an echo chamber for Bush. He says we can win the Iraq war in four years. How? We have been at it for five years and all progress has been negative. What trick does he have up his sleeve?
By the way, we did not invade Iraq to establish Democracy, we invaded because WMD’s were a clear and present danger. Oh whoops, there were no WMD’s in the first place, that was made up. OK, so we invaded to create Democracy, and ended up midwifing what is becoming a Shitte Theocracy. Oh my gosh, the real reason was for the oil. Alas, less oil is now coming out of the ground than when Saddam ruled the place.
So Senator McCain, after five years of this public relations slide, and a steadily deteriorating situation in Iraq, how can you do better and produce victory? Specifically please!

How many more people are going to die, and how many more billions are going to be spent in those four years?
And how do you set up a democracy in another country if the people who live there, and fight there are not willing to help you?
In this country, our soldiers are committed to serving their commander-in-chief, and defending America. In Iraq, the soldiers just seem to be there for the paycheck, and the Iraqi leaders are powerless over their own troops. Same way with The Awakening. Take away that ten dollars a day they’re getting, and then see how loyal they are.
It seems to me that the only way to win in Iraq would be to have soldiers (probably American, since the Iraqi’s won’t fight) patrolling every single town in the country, which would be impossible, and once the soldiers go away, you’re back to square one. McCain is just as delusional as his bed-buddy.

Pat,
Recently the Awakening groups are upping their price. All this hype from the Bushies that the Sunni’s have seen the light, will throw out Al Qaeda and be like us. Um, we are talking about the same people here. They just figured out we are desperate and will pay if they pretend to fight AQ. Or they killed somebody in one of their local feuds and called him Al Qaeda and sent us a bill.
And the Shia are coalescing, and will fight us too.
Democracy is not something the US Army can export. It can only be exported if other people see it and decide they want it.
