So Bush won the prize of the White House by the skin of his teeth in
2000.
Bush has a Three of a kind: House has a pair

Bush gambles that Iraq had WMD and went to war. He took down Saddam's
regime. "Mission Complished!"
Bush has Full House: House has Three of a kind

Search for WMD turns up empty and with it US loses creditbility.
House has Royal Flush: Bush only has a pair.

Sectearian violent breaks out troops are tied down to maintain order and
control civil war.
****ties and Sunnis players enter the poker game. They have nothing to
lose and everything to gain. Bush mis-read them and thinks they're
bluffing.
****ties have a Full House: Sunnis have Three of a Kind: Bush nothing.

Iraq reconstuction delayed, Iraqi don't have the jobs to provide for
themselves and they join radical miltias.
****ties and Sunni radicals raises the stakes. Bush still wants stay in
the game.

2004 Bush win the election again by the skin of his teeth but progress
of war is on everyone mind.
Bush has a Full House: the House has a straight. ****ties and Sunnis
fold.

2006 3,000 soldiers dead, Republican who backed the War loses Congress
in mid-term elections.
House wins with a Royal Flush, Bush only has a pair. Iran who has been
helping the ****ties by cheating sees Bush's loss as a sign of US
weakness. They start their nuke program.

Bush proposes a Troop surge to end the sectearian killings and win the
war. Democrats want to bring back the troops home and try to get Bush to
compromise on the war with war budget proposal. Democrats stand firm on
their position. Bush threatens a veto knowing the Democrats don't have
enough votes to over ride it.
Congress tries to limit Bush's losses. Bush just plays on hopeing to win
back US losses.

But tell me how can the US get back over 3,000 American soldiers lives
back? How can US get back world it's creditibility? And how can the US
stablize the middle east (and with it control terrorism) with a war?

I guess we just have to wait until 2008...

signs of a war being won?????
Successful troop expansion???
