New U.S. intelligence report warns 'victory' not certain in Iraq
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/227/story/53605.html

By Jonathan S. Landay, Warren P. Strobel and Nancy A. Youssef | McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — A nearly completed high-level U.S. intelligence analysis warns that unresolved ethnic and sectarian tensions in Iraq could unleash a new wave of violence, potentially reversing the major security and political gains achieved over the last year.

U.S. officials familiar with the new National Intelligence Estimate said they were unsure when the top-secret report would be completed and whether it would be published before the Nov. 4 presidential election.

1. There'll be no victory in Iraq of US making
Until these fools grasp the concept that democracy can't be imposed, "victory" will remain just outside of our grasp.

8. You declare victory
The point is to pretend you didn't want the grapes anyways and cheer like mad. Just as long as the mess ends.

Yes,but,but our great war hero John
MaCain said the surge has been succesfull,we have won, and victory is asssured in Iraq? How can these Intelligence dudes say such things?
Victory with honur is assured in Iraq,If we have to kill every last one of them to do it :D
MCcain knows how to win wars,and crash planes too.
Then its off and on to Afghanistan with another surge for more Freedom Spreading.
Also be prepared for another Osama Bin Laden Tape,and another high level,imminent Terrrorist threats WARNing before the Election,or even an incident which will be Iran backed and supported.

You can just about read these lying, immoral warmongers. like a book :evilgrin:

7. That's what I've been trying to figure out. The 'victory', if anything, is
the ability to turn over Iraq to it's government and military and get the fuck out.
