Comments on: What Does Knowing “How to Win Wars” Mean? http://firedoglake.com/2008/07/23/28571/ Firedoglake weblog Sat, 28 Nov 2009 04:12:54 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: kathyinstlouis1 http://firedoglake.com/2008/07/23/28571/#comment-1553122 kathyinstlouis1 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:53:49 +0000 http://firedoglake.com/2008/07/23/28571/#comment-1553122 <p>It’s too bad, then, that John McCain never sought to impart his keen knowledge of how to win wars on Bush/Cheney/Rumfeld & Company. They certainly had no clue. It could have saved thousands and thousands of American and Iraqi lives and a helluva lot of money….maybe the economy of this country. Too bad John is such a shrinking violet. Speaking up with some of that famous straight talk could have been valuable.</p> It’s too bad, then, that John McCain never sought to impart his keen knowledge of how to win wars on Bush/Cheney/Rumfeld & Company.

It would be even better if he would answer the question. Let’s find out which ones he thinks the US has won to start. Give him something that has historical record. If he can’t handle that one, do we need go on and discuss the wars in the world in the last say, 6 decades?</p> It would be a good question to ask.

When will someone ask McCain which wars he has won?

When will someone ask McCain which wars he has won?

In fact, has he ever fought on the winning side?

Also, per President Bush:

The principle guiding my decisions on troop levels in Iraq is “return on success.” The more successful we are, the more American troops can return home.

We currently have more troops in Iraq than we did when the surge began. Only a fool would call that anything other than “negative success.”
