////////////////////////////////////////// Asked during the briefing "are we winning" the war, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld did not directly respond. "The United States and the coalition forces, in my personal view, will not be the thing that will defeat the insurgency," Rumsfeld said. "So, therefore, winning or losing is not the issue for 'we,' in my view, in the traditional, conventional context of using the word 'winning' and 'losing' in a war. The people that are going to defeat that insurgency are going to be the Iraqis." After Rumsfeld finished, Myers interjected, "I'm going to say this: I think we are winning, OK? I think we're definitely winning. I think we've been winning for some time." /////////////////////////////////////////// So, it all depends on what your definition of "winning", "losing", and "we" is, is it? Gosh, my dictionary finger is getting sore. How...Clintonian. K.
