You should ask the people of Samarra how badly we're losing it right now.
I can tell you how we don't win the war on Islamic terror - that is by
leaving in place economic sanctions that inflamed Arab resentment against
the United States around the world, and led in large part to at least one
act of terrorism right here in the US.
There's no question that building a free Iraq is a difficult task, but the
War on Islamic Terror can only be won with a free Iraq and a free Middle
East, and I do believe that the US remains up to that task.
