You still don't believe that we're winning in Iraq? The drive-by media is providing the Dems with the sound-bite trees they need to convince the American people that we've been beaten, but it is more important to look at the forest. Here's a report from Bill Roggio, who has been there, and done that:

Lost in the current debate over Iraq - civil war or sectarian violence, success or failure, increasing troops or strategic redeployment, victory or defeat - is the sea-change occurring in western Iraq. The U.S. military has coaxed a large majority of the Sunnis of Anbar province, perhaps one of the most sympathetic groups to al-Qaeda in the Middle East, to turn on al-Qaeda. The choice wasn't difficult after the tribes saw what al-Qaeda had to offer – death, torture, Taliban like sharia, humiliation, destruction of commerce. The relationship and intelligence gained form operating in western Iraq will benefit the west during the Long War – if the U.S. doesn't withdrawal precipitously and leave the Anbar tribes to the predations of al-Qaeda in Iraq.

Hey, where'd you get that pic of Tom "Squirrely" DeLay?

Good lord, won't these people have the goodness to withdraw to the Philippine jungle like the die-hard delusionary Japanese did after WWII?

This sucker is done, and it went exactly the way the anti-war movement predicted in Feb. 03. We KNEW, going in, that the entire country was armed to the teeth. Did we secure the ammo dumps? No. Did we disarm the army? No. What DID we do? We rushed to the oil ministry and sent troops to the pipelines. It was like Gollum and his precioussssss.

It's really time to export these pro-war fruitcakes. There are countries in the world who would welcome them as nutrition.

You are missing the big picture. The GOP was seeking three results from the war:

1. Fool the goobers into voting GOP in 2002.

2. Fool the goobers into voting GOP in 2004.

3. Blame the failure and the consequences on the incoming Democrats.

Two of the goals are already realized. The third will come about if we can just fling enough bullshit to bury the truth.

Hence, you see it actually is a victory.
