My objections are with the rightwing's use of the war/occupation jargon to make people think they accomplished what they set out to do. This is how I see it playing out: 1. Rightwingers repeat that Dubyette won the war. 2. Rightwingers then say that the occupation was messed up but Dubyette still won the war. 3. Rightwingers blame everything on the 'goat' who appears to be Rumsfeld today but Dubyette still won the war. I heard General Batiste on Ed Schultz today. I thought it was interesting that he (registered Republican, voted for Bush twice) separated his condemnation of Rumsfeld from his opinion of Bush. He didn't really want to talk about Bush but he wanted Rumsfeld to resign, resign, resign. I figure that the rightwing is out to separate the occupation's chaos from the ease of the war in order to escape blame for the mess that is Iraq. They've already tried to blame it on Jihadists/AQ/OBL/Zarqawi, on Syria, on Iran and the corporate US media. Rumsfeld may be their mega-goat who can take all the blame with him when he gets kicked out of the village. If there's still fighting, the war's still on. In fact, it's pretty clear that Iraqis melted back home so the 'ease' of the 'war' was just another fabrication.
