the government refuses to discern the actual facts of the war and we r makin effort to defeat it...

u should not ask for the simple meaning of 'for what ' as a single phrase.

for what 在这里不是当词组用的吧？what 只是一个普通宾语而已

Sorry that I have a different translation for this sentence.I think this sentence might mean that our goverment is failing or will be defeated since it refuse to see the fact as it is.

You are welcome to make comments

...

think u r partially right. defeat here is, as it is, a noun. i have the impression that defeat as a verb is alwaystransitive. like defeat someone or be defeated by someone. by the by, isee no cause-and-effect connection between the denial of reality andthe defeat that impends. so my paraphrase simply goes like "ourgovernment refuses to concede its upcoming defeat in this war."
