The Perfesser tries to kick the football of victory. . .
How many times will these dolts fall for the same old story. . .

Instadipshit for about the time.

BLATHER, RINSE, REPEAT. The Perfesser is in his fifth year of declaring victory in Iraq. . .
The cost of the war is heading toward a trillion or higher, and has made Iraq a basket-case state similar to the other new and violently achieved “democracies” of our age which are showing very few of the sort of resources that got America up on its feet after its own revolution. Except, of course, Iraq’s political realignment was not at all internally generated. Somebody suffered a “cruel blow,” alright.
:
Look, it’s simple. Anyone who’s been saying “We’re winning!” since the invasion and for 6 years has been wrong about everything does not have the credibility lecture anyone on taking a realistic, unvarnished view of events in Iraq. Period.
Instapundit: still trying to recapture the magick!

Oh no! YOu guys missed the forming talking point.
According to Victor David Hanson, “victory” is establishing a stable and non-violent society in Iraq.
Sort of like what they had before we got all rowdy with them.
So they’ve basically dumbed down victory to mean something achievable in the next fourteen months.
