A comment on "winning" in Iraq from Paul at Powerline: As one might expect, the question of whether we're winning turns on how one defines winning. If it means stabilizing Baghdad, we're not winning and probably cannot win at any sustainable cost. If winning means killing lots of bad guys and making sure that neither the Iranians nor Al Qaeda has a proxy state on Iraqi soil, we've been doing OK and can do better. The problem is that the Dem's and the MSM, by defining victory in the first (unattainable) way, dramatically increase the odds that we will give up on [seeking] victory in the second (attainable) sense.
