So tell me ...

How McCain's plan to keep troops in Iraq will ever achieve the 'victory' he's been assuring us of?



Many people have said it, but now a respected think tank has put its imprimatur on it: the "global war on terror" is a misguided concept. A major new RAND study look at how terrorist groups have historically ended, concludes that in most cases, political accommodation and infiltration -- not brute force -- broke up the groups.

...


Because the only 'victory' that will be accepted is control over Iraqi oil, and the profits it generates, and that requires brute force.
