The war on terrorism IS win-able, but not using armies. It will require assassination units whose job is to search and destroy terrorist leadership and terrorist infrastructure. It is stupid to send fifteen elephants onto a football field with the intent to trample a mouse to death. Before the antiwar faction--of which I'm a part--castigates me for this line of reasoning, ponder whether it's better selectively to kill the INDIVIDUALS who are 'running' the terrorists or the brainwashed who are supporting them. The planning has been FUBAR and so the war has been a mess. IMO.
