How Do You Know You’ve Lost a War
Progressive Daily Beacon
Excerpt
Is it after you’ve spent more than a quarter-trillion dollars on the war and it only gets worse? Have you lost the war when a large majority of the occupied country wants you to leave? How about when the people being occupied, more than 60 percent, think it is acceptable to kill American soldiers? Maybe the war jig is up when a plurality of your own soldiers lose faith in the mission and their commander-in-chief?
For most reality-based and cognitively viable individuals, any of the above would be a pretty solid indicator that you’ve lost the war. George W. Bush and Congressional Republicans, however; see it all as signs of impending victory.
