Can we win in Iraq?

Sgt Stryker believes we can, but it's going to take longer than it might, because of the limits we place on ourselves.

I absolutely believe that we can win in Iraq. It is not a secret that we have one of the strongest and best equipped militaries in the world. We have the man-power, we have the technology and we have the weaponry to devastate any country in the world. That is not something we need to be ashamed of. That is the simple truth. Is there anyone who believes that we lack the practical means to wipe Iraq off the face of the earth? No.

We have not won in Iraq yet because we have been fighting a civilized war. That is far more than we can say for our enemies. We are fighting fanatics who leave IED’s and don’t care if they kill military of civilian targets. We are fighting terrorists who willfully and with premeditation target innocent men, women and children to press their own extremist agenda. We are not the bad guys. The bad guys attacked us. The bad guys killed 2,973 people on September 11th and were disappointed that they hadn’t killed more. The simple reason that we have not won in Iraq is because we are the good guys and we are fighting fair.
