If you listen to talk radio, you'll find this adminstrations sympathizers repeatedly invoke the "do you want America to win?" line to put of their inquisitors. What kind of a loony question is that?
Of course we want America to win. But tell me exactly how this adminstration is going about ensuring that America wins this war. Is it by never planning carefully to win the peace in Iraq once Baghdad fell back in '03? Is it by using fewer troops than necessary when it was clear to all and sundry that we were shorthanded in Iraq? Is it by having an incompetent Defense Secretary who is arrogant and so sure of himself that his various mistakes go unpunished? Tell me exactly, how you are going about winning this war.
The question itself is misleading. It is an attempt to divert attention from their own ineptness and instead turn the light on inconsequential verbal jousts.
