I think it is better not to get into losing wars We weren't losing in Vietnam - we bombed the North Vietnamese to the Paris peace table and we didn't lose a single engagement in VN. And we aren't losing in Iraq - there has been an election, a referendum approving the Constitution, and in another month national parliamentary elections. The Baathists and jihadis couldn't even muster a half hearted attempt to disrupt the referendum. Support for terrorism has dropped like a stone throughout the region because of Sunni terrorists killing Muslims in Iraq. Don't confuse "wanting to lose" with actually losing. Derek
