What is your definition of "complete victory" in Iraq?
You are how old and you don't know? Go back a study wars we truly won. The answer is there. (Even if this is different. Winning is still the same.)
That goal has been attained in northern Iraq and can be acheived in the rest of the country given time and determination. The war has been prolonged because the left has allied itself with the terrorists to undermine our efforts. They have been aided by the media, the Democrats and weak-kneed Republicans.
Everyone knows that if you keep killing Americans long enough we'll lose the political will to win. That strategy has come to fruition this year. Including on FR.
Whatever the current administrations position is today, which could change tomorrow, or next week. And then there will be an update to match from many here.
