I gather from your post above that we went to Iraq for some reason other than the many and varied reasons the Bush Administration said we went. So why when we win will the war in Iraq will the war not be over? I thought when we win a war the war is, you know, won. But you are saying Iraq isn't the end of the war. This is making my head hurt. How does one win a war and the won not be ended? Is this like a Buddhist koan?

Actually, I think the reason your head hurts is because you suffer from being terminally stupid. So ... in little words, just for you ... (in case I lose you,

We are not fighting the government of Iraq .... Iraq is the location that a battle front against Islamic fundamentalists is taking place. In the nether regions of your oh so simplistic mind, try to remember this ... this war is against Islamic terrorists wherever they are, whether that be Iraq, Iran, Palestine, or Chicago. We are being successful against the terrorists in Iraq. Our allies in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, England, Spain, and other countries have taken up the battle in other arenas.
