A Major Victory (Iraq)

---

So our folks are coming home? No.


Al Zarqawi caught/dead? hmmmm, No.


What is the major victory again?

[Dead Dog]

We still have troops in Germany and Japan, both have elected governments, and the Emperor was never put to trial.

I guess that wasn't victory enough.

Eventually they are coming home. But, even if everything was going great guns in Iraq right now, would you want them coming home, from Iran's doorstep? Not me. I have a feeling they will be needed in Iran.

For you, the only victory is defeat. But you won't get your wish.

Iraq will now have a government. While not the 'final' victory, it qualifies as a 'major' victory.

Slap myself on the head. How could I forget that these are the only two things that can ever comprise a major victory.

Of course, when these two things happen, the folks who use those definitions for a victory now will then morph the definition so that victories, or even progress, are always impossible.

Frankly, I would rather see a consensual Iraqi government than Zarqawi's head on a stick. Even better, both.

But to denigrate the obvious and significant milestone this represents suggests that the denigrator is not interested in reality, but only denigration.

That, once again, you remind us that you're not to be taken seriously. Not that it's any great victory anymore -- it's too predictable.

Yes it is a major victory since it has brought the Sunni into the political arena hence weakening the Terrorists both in Iraq and in the world at large. Too bad the "Are We There Yet Mommy?" kids cannot recognize such things.

Also unfortunate is the "Are We There Yet Mommy?" kids have no knowledge of history in order that events can be placed in proper perspective.

The United States did not have an effective government until 12 years after independence was declared. So Iraq has made great progress.

Anyone capable of Geopolitical thinking understands that our troops will be in this area for a decade or more because of the other threats in the area. Iraq has been won though there are still rough edges. Zarqawi is yesterday's news and is losing allies and power as each day passes. His allies are now mainly the Party of Treason here, the Treason Media and Euroweenies. Al Queda's defeat in Iraq has been so decisive that it is now planning to withdraw and concentrate on Israel and Eygpt.

First and foremost, a moral victory of removing a JACK-BOOT totalitarian regime known for using chemical weapons (aka WMD) in campaigns of genocide against innocent civilians. And the subsequent progress of of the 25 million people of Iraq moving forward with an electoral government!

I could go on, and on, but for any decent human with a soul, that should be enough!

And please, quit acting like you care for the troops! My two nephews fought in Iraq in the Samarra area out of the F.O.B Camp Anaconda.

Have you sent the troops packages? Packages of snacks, magazines...???

Do not answer that. I know you have not. You left-wing cowards who care for no one but yourselves use the troops for your agenda! You care not one bit about our brave U.S. Troops!

Get out of here, you make me sick.
