Okay…Let’s Accept the Republican’s Definition of Victory in Iraq…

[The Whiskey Priest]

...and Hold Them to that Definition.

The Republicans tell us that victory will be when Iraq is a Democratic and Stable country that supposedly resembles “Someplace Iowa.”

Now, they have the congress, the Presidency and the Courts….so there is no reason for them to “bug out” (their term) before accomplishing that goal. If a year from now Iraq is in turmoil, or should we be asked to leave with Iraq becoming closely aligned with Iran, well sir, its their fault and no one else can share in that in this monumental FUBAR.

1. That's why they won't commit to a timeline

we'll be there forever.

"We're making progress...remarkable progress...the Iraqi people just voted again for something or other..."

2. They want bases there forever.

They don't want to pull out, now, or ever. They are in the colonization business.

3. What was the Republican definition of a military victory in 1999?

When they were talking about how Clinton's "war" would not end in a victory?
