Guess what? You're now famous. Congratulations!

Who wants to attack Iran US or UK ?

"I would like the war to stop. Absolutely. Stopping to me means winning, not running."

And what exactly constitutes winning in this fiasco now that it is totally FUBAR? All the insurgents are going to surrender and toss down their weapons, or maybe just move to Iran or something? All of the mullahs praising Dubya and his wisdom in showing them the way? What can possibly happen that you see as winning?

The Iraqi people surely are not the winners here. They are likely to be at each others throats for years to come now that we have removed the only stabilizing (albeit brutal) force they had, and so thoroughly trashed their infrastructure that it will take years for them to rebuild. Oh yeah. We won't let them do it, we'll bring in out own contractors.

Haliburton has done pretty well, and Blackwater and their mercenaries are looking like winners. The press looks like a bunch of losers, but after seeing so many of their own blown away, I guess I'd watch what I report too.

I generally agree with many of your sentiments you state here, but as hard as I try, I can't think of any realistic scenario that somehow equates to winning.
