“The Iraq Study Group has failed. With great hubris and pomposity, the Iraq Study Group released a report they wrote after having spent limited time in Iraq, and offering few if any new proposals to win the war in Iraq.

It would be nice if people stop falling into liberal traps. The war ended twenty days after the invasion started with the cessation of any credible form of government within Iraq. One can not come up with new proposals to accomplish something that occurred years ago. Is there an entity composed of pre-invasion government for us to surrender to? No. Do they still exist to surrender to us? No. The war in Iraq was won on April 9th, 2003. We can't re-win a war already won. We can't lose a war already won. It's over with.

This group has done great things to support our troops in Iraq, I don't discount that. But on this one point, they are very much wrong. Not even the United Nations could muster any farce to cover up the military realities - the Iraqi representative left the UN mission on April 8th, 2003, as he no longer had a nation to represent.

I see your point. But Operation Iraqi Freedom is still underway, so I would call that the war effort.

You may think there is no one to surrender to, but you do understand that if given the choice, Cindy Sheehan, and those on Capitol Hill who sympathize with her would happily surrender to Muqtada al Sadr or the current Al Qaeda in Iraq leader if it meant we could pull all U.S. Troops out of Iraq today.
