That depends on what ones interpretation of winning is. I wouldn't call what we are doing there now winning. What do you think is going to happen when this 'surge' is over? No effective goverment in six years isn't winning. They still can't even trust the police yet after six years. Are you prepared to send one of your children over there? The way this is now we will still be there when my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter is military age. To me that is not winning. This is no fault of General Petraeus and you haven't heard him say winning yet and I would also point out that his plan at the get go called for 40,000 more troops permenatley. The 'surge' is only a temporary measure and that was I believe 20,000.

don't want to see new entitlements such as Hilary's "$5,000 for every new baby born" Mexican illegal alien giveaway program.

It's for every child born in the U.S. and I agree it's not a good idea.

I'm not too happy that the Chinese despots and Islamic terrorists seemingly want to se Democrats in power. Just why would that be???

I'm not sure what you mean by Chinese despots. Like it or not we are going to reap what we have sown. We are doing nothing in Afganistan and Iraq and wishing success isn't going to make it happen. We have the force to maybe accomplish one. Losing two is not better. Let the Iraqi's sort themselves out. They can't play middle eastern hardball with us trying to make them see western values.
