Reply #203: Why would the Iraqi army *WANT* to occupy us?

> Right. Whatever you say. That's why the Iraqi army occupies the US right now.

Why would the Iraqi army *WANT* to occupy us?

Your comment, while a cute quip, is ludicrous.

If the point is to win the thousand years war, the Iraqis are
playing a much smarter game than we are, and there's no doubt
that they are winning the game. In a few years or decades,
we'll be gone from their country, exhausted, mentally defeated,
with about a trillion dollars drained out of our treasury (much
of it into the hands of the oil-rich countries) and our world
prestige destroyed.

But they'll still be there, going on as they always have.

In that situation, who will have won? Who will have lost?
