Reply #146: Agreed. Talk of "winning" the immoral and illegal war

on Iraq is absurd. I like Clark, a lot (see sig line). But some of the things he says really bother me as well.

For one, this great concern of his about how the consequences of a rapid and complete withdrawal will be "read as a massive defeat for the United States".

Wasn't that an argument used against American withdrawal from Vietnam?

When the most optimistic of the generals in-country say that "it's too soon to tell if we've lost the war", why do some of our Dems think it's appropriate to speak of "winning"?
