We already won. Remember Mission Accomplished?

But by staying and occupying a country that has a boiling civil war going on, we can only lose.

If the lessons of Vietnam are going to be ignored, ie the Powell Doctrine, then you can't really do anything but lose in the long run.

That's why we should have finished up our mission long ago. Like right after Saddam was taken out and it was assured that no WMD were there. Then we should have handed off to the Iraqi people.

But what we are really doing there is establishing a foothold in the middle east. It's not about Saddam or WMD. It's about military occupation. The question has to be asked, Why are we occupying Iraq? What is the purpose of it? You must answer this question honestly.
