Given the history since our occupation began, why would
any single American be stupid enough to believe that the
 entire population of Iraq might somehow forget the events
of the last 5+ years?

How can any thinking, feeling American not put themselves
in the Iraqi's place, and ask themselves if they would have
 tolerated being occupied by a foreign power under the
conditions that the Iraqi's have endured?

So long as our boots are on their soil, we will be resented,
hated and targeted, and the most we can ever expect of the
 Iraqis is for them to look the other way and not inform us
there is any danger that has been planted in our path.

It would require a new definition of winning to continue
 to occupy under those circumstances.

We cannot "un-fail" Iraq. We can only leave Iraq.
War on terror terrorism? terrorism is a concept
You cannot have a war on a thought and truly expect to win,
unless you suspect everyone and trust no one everywhere.

That would take a lot of surveillance equipment and billions of dollars.....

Oh my.....
