May I ask how posting articles dated years ago, some as early as 2000, is relative to what is happening in Iraq today. Is it merely to rehash old talking points and bygone history? Is the war in Iraq winnable in a winning sense? No I think not because we aren't there to conquer the land only there to provide security until they get on their feet. There is some evidence of this happening

Will we ever win? No, but I believe soon the Iraqi's will be able to handle their own security and we will be able to pull most of our troops from the area. So in some sense we win because we accomplished what we set out to do.

One of your links even has the date Dec. 6 2007. What's up with that?
