Nobody is quantifying victory in Iraq by control of the oilfields? Like it or not those resources are what makes the world go 'round and this is our window of opportunity. I'm not saying that we should give the Iraqis a raw deal, on the contrary, they should be fairly compensated, but it would be height of irresponsibility NOT to gain full control of the oil after all we've invested, rightly or wrongly. I didn't support this war from the beginning, but at this point, we can't be leaving empty handed.
It's too bad you've been drinking the neo-con/Dubya-flavored Kool Aid. Wasn't it Dubya (or was it Rumsfeld) who said at one point that "we don't do nationbuilding."
What about all the other important nations, including key oil exporters to the U.S., who are run by dictators (Nigeria, Venezuela, even Russia)? When's Dubya going to do regime change there also?
It's all such a crock. You've got to learn to see through it.
Invading Iraq was about OIL and ISRAEL's security.
Back off, love monkey. I said that's what victory would look like. I don't think WE will EVER get there and if it were up to me I'd have all the troops out tomorrow and I'd make Bush and his daughters spend his last 13 months over there. I know perfectly well what this "war" is about.
BTW, I'm one of those scary liberal women referenced on another thread.
America may have a hard time finding a properly suited puppet to run Iraq. Like one who will be pro-Washington and pro-Israel. Where is Washington going to find someone like that?

Hold your horses. We have to figure out how to get rid of Maliki first.
