If you go attack a one legged blind man, who you claim had a gun but didn't, beat him in to a coma and kill him, is that a win? You can call a thing anything you want, but I'm not sure many people are going to buy the "win" thing- at least in any meaningful way. And since this war was supposed to be part of the war on terror, leaving Iraq more filled with Al Qaeda than it was when we started, leaving it a growing base for Iranian influence (one of our evil enemies according to Bush), leaving it a problem for Turkey and all its neighbors, is certainly not a "win". It's a big black hole of failure. And I think the polls show most people see it that way. Starting a civil war, as we did, in the quest to "defeat" an enemy that it turned out was not much of a threat to us, is never going to be an easy thing to cast in the positive. One can try, but I have serious doubts a majority in this country are going to swallow that.
