Duh

Who still thinks victory in Iraq is possible? Very few, if any, I imagine. I'm sure in his heart of hearts Bush knows it's a lost cause, but I don't think "winning" is what he and his cronies were after. Not that it's been a huge success, but the neocon mantra that the U.S. ought to expand its empire through military force because it can has been acted out quite well. It's just not pretty at all. Anyway, the James Baker panel has found that the Iraq quagmire really is unwinnable. See it here. Baker is certainly no bipartisan, well-wishing public servant. Remember, he served as secretary of state under Bush I and was the Bush team's "oserver" (read Katherine Harris' handler) during the Florida mess in 2000. My, how far we've come.
