Siren on Drudge site, I can only assume these were comments made during confirmation hearings this morning.
Maybe we are not winning, but I don't hear anybody talking about victory as an objective.
Where is the article?
Much ado about nothing.
Hunkered down in the green zone - building schools while they blow us up is not winning.
Americans don't fear war but there is a sense since we are not moving forward, we are behind.
Our rules of engagement seems to be more like the british the Americans.
Sheesh, what next? Bond will probably want a gay scene in the next movie.
what does winning entail in such an unconventional conflict?
Everyday the news gets worse. I feel deflated. Where is the conservative phoenix to rise from the ashes of this crappy party?

Filing a report everytime you discharge your weapon is no way to win a war. Disgraceful!
I heard him say that he agreed with Gen. Pace that we are neither winning nor losing.
Of more concern to me is his statement that we should not attack Syria and that he does not see the Congressional authorization of 2001 as applicable to an attack on Iran.
2. Someone needs to explain to me why I should care that a bunch of Islamofacists are occupied killing each other. Seems to me that's the best outcome of our post-9/11 efforts to push back at those rabid monsters. Shiites, Shi'ites, Sunis, Wahhabis, whatever...I say to all of them, be my guest. Kill each other. You're doing our job for us.
3. I say pull our troops out and let the regional conflagration begin. Yeah, yeah, the price of oil will go through the roof. I say so what. Small price to pay if the Islamofacists will exhaust their blood lust on each other.
Put a fork in us, we're done.
He also just told Senator Bird (blech) that the President does not have the right to go into Syria or Iran, and that Bob Gates has no intention of going into Syria, and we shouldn't go into Iran either. Oh he also stated that Iran cannot militarily attack us.
With this nom, GW has brought to reality what the Dims have long wanted. Defeat.
God have mercy on us all.
Let me know when they start drafting 54 year olds to fight in Iraq.
Well, he is also virtually taking military action OFF THE TABLE in respect to Iran and Syria. HE SIMPLY SEEMS TO BE A PACIFIST! How can he say this without all the information? Not a good move. Pres should retract his nomination, period! I missed much of his testimony, but it as reported above, he is likely to recommend withdrawal from Iraq also. Mr President, dump him!
We are not losing to the terrorists - We ae losing to traitors.
He SHOULD have said.....
We're not winning here at home.
Thanks democrats.
Sic him, Bushbots.
But save your strength, you're going to have a couple of very rough years.
