Inevitable in a conventional war, perhaps...

Our victory is inevitable in a conventional war, but not in a guerrilla war like in Iraq. In such a war, anything less than a total and unconditional surrender by the terrorists will be praised by those terrorists as a victory for themselves. That's how it works.

Look at the recent short term Israel-Lebanon war. The terrorists are claiming a huge victory. In a guerrilla war, all the terrorists have to do to win is not lose. If we pull out like we did in Viet Nam, we lose. That's how it will be seen throughout the Muslim world. Mark my words on this. Write my reply down and tape it to the tv set. The day we pull out of Iraq, we will see the terrorists and the entire Muslim world (starting with Amadmanjihad in Iran) will declare victory and laugh at us. It will encourage and incite more terror. And Iraq will succumb to the terrorists. When this happens, remember my post.

The only way to defeat Islam is to hand it a crushing defeat, to totally demoralize it, and to shatter any hopes it has for continuing to plague the civilized world with its barbarity. We need to crush them like ants, because all the understand is force. Anyone who believes otherwise is delusional and in denial of not only reality, but also history. Unfortunately we have no true, patriotic, real men running things. We have politicians owned by special interests who don't have a clue as to how to fight a war. Hence, we are doomed to lose. We simply don't understand what it means to win anymore.
