It Depends What the Meaning of "Win" Is

A new CNN poll is out about the War in Iraq. Here's their lede:

Less than half of Americans think the United States can win the war in Iraq, according to a CNN poll released Tuesday.

Forty-six percent said the United States could not win the war in Iraq.

And although 46 percent also said the United States still could win, the results mark the first time since the war began four years ago that a majority of Americans said the United States is not capable of winning.

Too late now, but I wish there had been a followup question for the people who said the US could still win: "What do you mean by 'win'?" I bet we'd have gotten some interesting answers.
