Sarah               Palin's               ignorance               of               world               events               is               easy               to               see               when               she               joyfully               sends               her               eldest,               son,               Private               1st               Class               Track               Palin,               to               war               in               Iraq.

The               issue               isn't               that               her               son               has               apparently               chosen               to               go               to               Iraq;               the               issue               is               her               failure               to               recognize               why               he               is               going.

At               a               deployment               ceremony               on               the               seventh               anniversary               of               the               2001               terrorist               attacks,               she               told               her               son               and               his               fellow               troops               that               they               would               "be               there               to               defend               the               innocent               from               the               enemies               who               planned               and               carried               out               and               rejoiced               from               the               death               of               thousands               of               Americans."               She               apparently               does               not               know               that               claims               that               Iraq               shared               responsibility               for               the               attacks               with               al-Qaida               have               been               thoughtfully               discredited               and               even               rejected,               although               too               late,               by               President               George               W.

Bush.
               According               to               Ms.

Palin,               "You'll               be               there               because               America               can               never               go               back               to               that               false               sense               of               security               that               existed               before               Sept.

11,               2001,"               she               said.

"You               will               be               there               to               win,               you               will               see               victory."               Indeed,               she               has               said               that:               "victory               in               Iraq               is               wholly               in               sight"               and               she               continually               criticizes               Barack               Obama               for               not               using               the               word               "victory".
               Both               Sen.

John               McCain,               R.,               Ariz.,               and               Palin               continue               to               claim               success               for               the               "surge               of               American               reinforcements               sent               last               year               to               Iraq.

However,               the               facts               are               different.

The               US               plans               to               keep               about               138,000               more               troops               in               Iraq               than               before               the               surge.

Nonetheless,               the               best               barometer               of               the               lack               of               success               from               the               surge               is               not               the               numbers               nor               even               reduced               deaths.

Indeed,               the               true               state               of               security               in               Iraq               is               the               inability               of               the               4.7               million               refugees,               one               in               six               of               the               population,               who               fled               for               their               lives               inside               and               outside               Iraq,               to               return               to               their               homes.
               While               McCain               and               Palin               engage               in               "happy-talk,               the               outgoing               US               commander,               General               David               Petraeus,               is               far               less               optimistic               about               the               American               situation               in               Iraq.

General               Petraeus               says               that               it               (conflict)               remains               "fragile",               recent               security               gains               are               "not               irreversible"               and               "this               is               not               the               sort               of               struggle               where               you               take               a               hill,               plant               the               flag               and               go               home               to               a               victory               parade...

it's               not               a               war               with               a               simple               slogan."
               There               are               two               primary               problems               with               "victory,"               in               Iraq.

First,               declaring               war               on               terrorism               means               you               have               declared               war               against               a               strategy,               and               one               that               the               US               engages               in               as               well               as               others.

In               essence               you               have               declared               war               against               yourself.

Obviously               It               does               not               make               sense.

You               can               declare               war               on               a               country,               a               group               even               an               individual,               but               not               on               a               strategy.

War               by               its               very               definition               requires               a               beginning,               middle               and               achievable               end.
               And               that               brings               us               to               the               second               problem.

There               is               no               way               to               declare               victory               over               an               occupation               of               the               middle-east               landmass               populated               by               a               faith               of               people               thousands               of               years               older,               and               distinctly               different               from               our               own.

Even               the               6th               century               military               strategist               Sun               Tzu               new               that:               "Ground               which               forms               the               key               to               three               contiguous               states,               so               that               he               who               occupies               it               first               has               most               of               the               Empire               at               his               command,               is               a               ground               of               intersecting               highways.

On               the               ground               of               intersecting               highways,               join               hands               with               your               allies.
               And,               Sun               Tzu               reminds               us               that:               "If               the               campaign               is               protracted,               the               resources               of               the               State               will               not               be               equal               to               the               strain."
