No, defeat is inevitable. Bush picked Iraq because, he knew it would take forever to do, there is lots of oil there(that wasn't being shared) and he knew he would then have war time funding for his whole term. Quote:

As usual, the U N is showing how helpless they really are.

| Iraq did not choose us, and the war was definitely not random. We forced ourselves upon it. They posed no threat, yet we invaded. Oil was a part of the equation, but not the sole reason. Iraq is in a strategic area and has enough oil that its use (or non-use) will affect global prices. It's more likely to be used as leverage than profit. The bases being built on Iraqi soil are not built for a brief occupation as was mentioned. They are built to be permanent bases.
