Americans will only consider the Iraq war a victory when all the troops are out and not before than. That is the realistic view of your average American. Here at FR we tend to be more knowledgeable about it and can see victory already but your average American will not know this or even agree to this....the same Americans who just voted Obama which is why I am confident in my post.

Victory actually used to mean that the troops come home. There is nothing wrong with that concept, except that we all know that Iraq, while relatively peaceful now, is destined to be an Islamic terrorist-supporting state soon after we do leave - which despite your self-proclaimed “knowledgeable” position is going to happen sooner or later.
The concept of not having our troops on foreign soil except when absolutely necessary for a specific (military) objective used to be a conservative concept. We can either leave now, on our terms, or later on someone else’s terms.
No, now that the leftists are safely in power here, there will be no reason for the MSM to deny the obvious any longer ... that we won. Of course, somehow they will give the credit to Obama.
