Strategy: Democracy is finally taking hold in the wake of Saddam Hussein's dictatorship. That, not American withdrawal, should be the big story. It's time to acknowledge success and to learn from it.
You wouldn't know it from most news coverage, but the Iraq story continues and — get this — it's a story of emerging victory. What else can you call it when a stable democracy, the ultimate goal in America's military intervention, is in sight?

Winning or victory is directly related to the goal sought. The left sees no gain in this struggle. So we can't expect them to understand the concept of "win". We have forgotten that democrates have no stomach for our security as it shows itself in aggression and war. We are beginning to hear the chorus being sung in this tragedy about who is victim and who is the criminal. This attitude has obviously infected the FBI and to some extent high levels of the military and the diplomatic corp. We are no longer vigilant. We are missing the signals and the messages of an approaching threat. We are becoming more and more vulnerable.

ASK SADAAM HUSSEINE WHO WON THE WAR...............YOU REMIND ME OF BAGDAD BOB!
d'Raven
Or North Korea's Media or Iran's Media, when they are reporting (opining) about how their countries are winning everything...
Sharon
Ask the Iraqi people who won. They will say, they did and it is true, with our help. They also say Thank you America, but the lib spin media will never show you that.

We freed them and they are so much better off now then they were! well besides the ocational road side bomb and car bombings and lack of electricity
MOM
Better than S. Hussein reigning over them!

THANKS TO OUR GREAT MILITARY AND THE LEADERSHIP OF FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH. IF OBAMA WOULD LISTEN TO GEN MCCRYSTAL MAYBE WE WOULD WIN IN AFGANISTAN. BUT OBAMA IS A "WUSSY".

@ sobemike: Evrything you've said about Bush and Iraq are the lies. Your repeating this over and over does not make it true. Quit rewriting history.

We Won but Obama is seizing defeat out of the jaws of victory !

After ww2 the German youth did terrorism, our MP's caught them put them against a wall and shot them..........................it stopped

By the way, take a look at our economy, our so-called representatives, our slowing eroding freedom of speech, Big Brother, the greed and corruption in Congress, jail for not having health insurance, a chasm between the left and the right, and you think that other nations appreciate our attempting them to have a democracy such as ours is right now? Fix ours first by giving us back the freedoms so dearly earned.
dr no
What have we won? What did we win in Vietnam? What are we trying to win in Afghanistan?
MOM
Apparently nothing now. We have a President that only relates winning to himself.
THE TOMB
When all American Troops are gone and terrorist bombings cease I will believe it and only then! Claim what you want but wait and see I guarantee Iraq will spit and pee on you and me!!!!

you are not an American............you are an ass. how could you be so ignorant, and sarcastic?
sobemike
How can you Fox Noise morons be so stupid as to believe this garbage that we won in Iraq. If we fought WW2 like this we'd be speaking German. The invasion of Iraq was predicated on lies of the Bush Administration. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, nor did it have WMD's. America is getting its comeuppance in Iraq!

Yes we won. But at what cost?
MOM
The greatest cost is the role it played in putting wussy democrats in charge of our country today. We'll talk about the true cost when the great O finishes us off.
ptson
President Odumbo is "uncomfortable" with the term "victory" so we will let the Bush win fade to nothing and we will allow NATO to lose in Afganistan. HELP! We have a manchild as commander-in-chief!
