No Such Thing as Un-winnable

A lot in the news about the un-winnable war in Iraq. Such poopycock. I mean poppycock. Whatever. When you want to create a future, you have to be willing to supplant the present at whatever cost it might require. If it takes heat-bring heat. If it takes smoke-use smoke. If it takes fire-strike a match. You have to be willing to use whatever is necessary. The Kurds are cooperating. The Shiites and and the Sunnis are resisting. Bring heat, smoke and fire. Brutally kill the resistance. Mookie al Sadr and whoever else. When a couple of US troops are killed by a sniper, carpet bomb the neighborhood and send the signal that you will not be tampered with. They kill 2, you kill 2000.

Once order is restored, then you can impose democracy or anything else you want. If that strategy was used in the first place, it would already be saving lives. This is the lesson of history. If you want to win, you need to be willing to kill people and smash things.

A war is not over until one side quits. If you aren't willing to quit, you can't be beaten, unless you get annihilated. I don't think we face that possibility. Let's decide to win, bring the heat and then reshape the world. It's better to be envied and feared than laughed at and scorned. Yes, we'll make some enemies. Kofi Annan will talk bad about us. France, China and Russia will be pissed. Third World idiots will protest in the street. Iraq and Syria will cower in fear.

People may badmouth the Yankees, but they are yardstick that teams are measured by. We are the yardstick that countries are measured by and they hate us for it. They envy our wealth and our arrogance. Screw em'

There is no such thing as an un-winnable war. You just have to believe you can win, you have to be willing to win and you have to convince the opponent that you will win by executing a dominating strategy.
