I still think the US, has a strong chance of winning in Iraq. What Cheney said was reasonable: 'the US public will never allow a withdrawal'. Because the US public will not vote to lose a war. And the problem for the Democrats is that they will never be able to justify a withdrawal from Iraq to the public (unless they launch a huge 9/11 truth campaign....an outlandish notion of course ). It will be a win, because:A) Got that oil, baby,andB) Got them military bases on prime stategic real estate.Iran however, dosn't look like its going to bend over and start picking cotton anytime soon.

With respect, too many of you seem to view the war as a failure because it has not brought stability to the country and thousands of american soldiers are dying plus hatred for the U.S keeps growing exponentially. On the first point the war was never designed to bring stability for the reasons i have mentioned above, the deaths of thousands and the horrific injuries of tens of thousands of american soldiers, is also not a failure, the hardliners will insist that no war can be fought without casualties, essentially these guys are just lambs to the slaughter, there are plenty more to send and who naively believe they are fighting for a genuine goog cause.
