How does it feel you liberals? Telling us over and over the war was lost. There was no hope, we should cut and run? Wonder how you will now spin the Surge you opposed into being all your idea. How you never preached doom and gloom.
Such news just before an election. I can see it now, you will claim cause the war is being won it is no longer an issue and pretend you were never so sure it would fail. Looking for an escape by abandoning those pesky Iraqis that you claimed could never shoulder the load. |
It must really hack you off that McCain is reduced to saying now that Obama's 16-month pull out plan is just about right.
We haven't "won" anything. Violence is down, which is good. But, that's a tactical metric. Its not a measure of "victory". Iraq is going to have a nominally pro-Iranian government, and sporadic violence will continue for years to come. Did we really spend a trillion dollars to go on a ghost hunt for WMD, and replace an anti-iranian dictator, with a pro-iranian Shia government?
