As far as I can tell, Iran, has WON the war in Iraq, not us.


You're a damned fool if you believe that. Anyone who has closely monitored events in Iraq, and I have, can see that we have won the war there.

The claim that "Iran is stronger" as a result of the war is without foundation, simply put, a news media invention. They did precisely the same thing about al-Sadr, only a month before he was defeated in Iraq.

Iran is not a winner in the Iraq war. They have their hands full trying to keep their own people down. Having a democracy next door where Sunni and Shia are living and working together, which is what is happening now, hardly bolsters Iran, it makes it that much tougher to hold down the internal pressures in the longer term.

GWB has successfully brought Democracy to Iraq and 10 or 15 years from now the importance of this event will be clear. In the meantime, I guess it is necessary to listen to the Left's incompetent drivel.
