Obama: We Have To Win In Afghanistan
(AP) Contending that the U.S. is not pursuing a sound strategy for keeping Americans safe, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Tuesday that fighting al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan would be his top priority after ending the war in Iraq.

"This is a war that we have to win," Obama said in remarks prepared for delivery at the International Trade Center in Washington.

Obama: We Have To Win In Afghanistan, Says Afghanistan War Would Be Top Priority After Ending The War In Iraq - CBS News

The question:
How/why do we -not- have to win the war in Iraq?
How/why is it OK to lose in Iraq?

Where does this article imply that Obama says we do "not" have to win the war in Iraq? Why does talking about Afghanistan have to encompass talking about Iraq?

My guess is that he talks about winning in Afghanistan as being important is because such country was involved in the September 11th attacks and our being in Afghanistan is appropriate. I agree with him--we must win there.

Your question about why it's okay to lose in Iraq is just completely dishonest. Nowhere has he made such a statement. :roll:

I dont think this was just some doofus slip up.
I think that he, and his followers, sincerely believe that losing in Iraq is acceptable.

I'll be interested to see the responses from the Obamaphiles.

I thought obama was going to remove troops imediatly, a few brigades each month. That does not sound like "winning" to me. :lol:

First of all, tell me what you define as winning in Iraq.

Second of all, does removing troops immediately equate to losing? How so? Are you saying that if we "won" the war in Iraq, that removing troops afterwards would be indicative of losing? Interesting.......

You saw the part about pulling troops out of Iraq as soon as he possibly could, yes?
Unless the war is already won, this in and of itself, denotes that it is OK to lose in Iraq, because unless the war is already won, pulling tropps out as soon as they possibly can be will mean the war will be lost.

So:
Is the war in Iraq already won?

If not:
How/why do we -not- have to win the war in Iraq?
How/why is it OK to lose in Iraq?

So...
DO we have to win the war in Iraq?
Is it NOT OK to lose in Iraq?

Given that aps has only rarely shown any real ability to dicuss things in an intelligent, reasoned manner, there's NO reason that's not good enough for her to ignore the issue and attack the poster.
