It was more interesting to hear a Republican senator in the Arms Comitee saying that Iraq can't be won militarily in his comment afterwards. That's what I many and others who know something about this region/culture has claimed for a while and now it seems to slowly sink in.

It can't be won militarily. It can't be won politically. A combination of the two is neccessary for victory. Its also the strategy we have been following since the start.

No, you haven't been following that strategy from the start (it was spoken, but not executed). In the beginning you arrogantly ignored nearly all politics due to an irrational belief in the military part.
