What if Iraq wins?

Not a conventional victory, mind you, with Tommy Franks signing a surrender inside a tent in the middle of the desert :-)

What mean by an Iraq victory is because the war in not winable.

1) What if the US troops are pinned down on a situation from which they can only retroceed? It is looking like that with the top brass swearing that they haven't come down to a halt.

2) What if the amount of troops coming still get stuck too? Do you rememebr Viertnam war? It ended up with a half million troops and even though they were defeated.

3) What all the "war" so far was display of movement but not an effective attack, apart from the bombing by air?

I see footage of British commandoes exploding abandoned speed boat along Irq's coast.

I see British forces smashing walls with Saddam's pictures.

I see British forces capturing Baaht party HQs and capturing politicians.

In summary, they are only going after the weak spots to provide footage for the cameras.

Have you noticed that a couple of times the press telling us:

What we are seeing on TV is not the real war. What is really going on is not being showed.
OR
What we see is only a cameo part of the war.

Sounds suspicious like someone trying to persuade that this thing is bigger than actually is.

The "fierce battles" -the embedded reports- are only a few gun shots against a couple of troops.

Mate, keep one eye on this eventuality of an Iraq victory because the adventure may not be winable.
