We cannot win it in 1/2 years. I would hasten to say we already won it.

Uh?!?!

We can be SEEN to have "won it" by bringing at least half of the troops home while the Iraqis successfully handle al-Q. I believe this is the White House plan.

They need to do it. I meant they need to win it 1 1/2 year before the election which they cannot do. We had better go back to defining the win as we originally did kick Saddam’s butt and get out. And I do not mean half out.
