Is there any doubt we've lost in Iraq?
Bush said one of the reasons we were going in, was to stop Sadam's
torture of Iraqi citizens.
Sadam is no longer doing it, but we are - and in the same infamous
prison he used!
Here's some explicit pics, in case you haven't see them.

So, how do we end this?
I propose an 'Exit With Honor' strategy for Iraq, that includes setting
a firm timetable for our troops to, if not leave Iraq, at least pull
back to US enclaves.
Secondly, dump de-Baathification as a policy and reconstitute segments
of the Iraqi army to take over sectors of security on the ground - eg.
keep repeating what we did in Falujah.
Thirdly, dump any 'society engineering' we've been doing in Iraq. This
includes US style privitization of their economy. See
