- We have thoroughly defeated AQI and registered a humiliating defeat to al Qaeda that will pay dividends for years to come.
- We have helped Maliki thoroughly defeat Sadr and the Iranian influence to the point that they are now marginalized and despised by their would-be constituents.
- The Iraqis are tracking toward taking on more and more of the load of securing their own country.
What am I missing? Is this not victory?

What am I missing? Is this not victory? Because we have not yet made the political gains that need to be made as a result of the military victory.
The political gains need to be made ... in the United States of America.

What am I missing? Is this not victory? Sure looks like it. I look forward to seeing peaceful Iraq next month.
And we must never forget that to achieve victory, our troops and the coalition have also had to defeat the media and the Democrats.

No we lost. You heard the MSM, we lost. We rape, murder, burn, steal, loot, burn some more, put in prison nice people for no reason (the Supremes just said so). Naw, America is the bad guy. Obama will make us good again. severe sarcasm still on

You nailed it - History is going to be very kind to our current CinC......and say very little about those on the left who were on the complete wrong side of history (for their own, small minded, ugly reasons).

Partial victory, but not a complete victory, not until we go bomb Iran and kill Muqtada Al Sadr over there, the Osama Bin Laden of Mahdi Army.

Plus it’s all being done with less and less Coalition help, as the Iraqi Army grows more and more powerful every day.
Iraq is the anti-Vietnam.
