WHY CAN'T REPUBLICANS WIN ALREADY? WHY? Why can't Republicans win against a ragtag bunch of insurgents and militia in a third world country, devastated by decades of dictatorship and sanctions, which is less than 1/10th our size in more time than it took to win WWII? Why? What is wrong with you people? I would actually like an answer to this question that the media and Congress and, of course, Bush and Cheney keep dodging. WHY CAN'T YOU GUYS WIN ALREADY? WHY? You've had an essentially unlimited budget, around 250K boots on the ground including about 100K overpriced mercenaries and 'contractors' an unbelievable amount of air 'support' in the form of shock and awe bombs and YET...and YET.... WHY CAN'T YOU GUYS WIN ALREADY? I'm not kidding. Why can't you guys do what you said you would do: win in 6 months at a cost of $1.7 BILLION. I'm not talking about making up crappola about 'winning the war' but 'fighting the insurgency' because that's just baloney. 6 choppers down since 1/20 is not a mop up operation but a wholesale war. I'm sick in my heart from the constant devastation so..... WHY CAN'T YOU GUYS WIN ALREADY?
