"I asked you some very simple and specific questions and you have not answered them.

Some of your questions, although simply stated, do not require simply stated answers from a layman such as myself. Specific answers to your questions are not simple and you would likely only be satisfied if they were answered by official government documents detailing goals, benchmarks, or minute to minute contingency modifications that might be best determined by experts in the field or on the ground in Iraq.

"May be you don't know the answers."

You are changing your directive to me from what I know to what has been officially stated. If you want specific questions answered by official spokespersons go ask your questions to one of those persons.

The commander and chief has said this regarding your questions:

the goal in Iraq still is “a government that can sustain, govern and defend itself and serve as an ally in this war on terror” and that “ “the best military options depend on conditions on the ground.”
