| Did anyone else see the Lieberman and Pony show on CSPAN? |

Billed thusly:
Finding a Successful Strategy for Iraq
Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments
Washington, District of Columbia (United States)
ID: 190200 - 12/06/2005 - 1:14 - $45.00
Lieberman, Joseph, U.S. Senator, D-CT
Krepinevich, Andrew, Executive Director, Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments
Am interested in impressions. Joe didn't come off as so sure of himself and pulled a lot of faces while waiting through his introduction. Message was "We gotta win." Something, by the way, I don't believe is possible in any war. There are no winners.

From an existetical standpoint, perhaps not.
From a tactical and strategic standpoint, your statement is wrong on its face.

| 3. True war changes outcomes for both individuals and states, but is there a |

real tactical and strategic point always "won"?
