Its going to be tough to declare victory at this point. Saddam's regime is completely removed from power, and its leadership is mostly dead or in prison. We have verified that there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. I would consider that a lot closer to a victory than to a loss, at least as far as the "Coalition versus Saddam's Iraq" war went. Iraq may descend into chaos, or it may split into three countries, or it may stabilize under the most powerful local group, who knows? Whatever happens to Iraq, it won't be a defeat for the USA, unless you define victory for the USA as the USA providing three meals a day, a good education, and decent infrastructure for Iraqis. And its hard to see how things could possibly improve over the next two years. Over the next two years if the USA leave Iraq things for the USA could improve a lot. Significantly reduced Iraq campaign expenditures and significantly reduced loss of American life in Iraq. That's a slam dunk! Things may deteriorate for Iraqis, but that's not our concern, now, is it? They will reap what they sow.
