"smart enough not to throw a victory away after it's pretty much won"

I think the jury is STILL out on whether we are getting a "victory" in Iraq.

It seems pretty sure that we've turned a Sunni Iraq into a Shiite Iraq.

Right now, I'm not so sure our allies in the area like the Saudi's, Jordanian's and Egyptian's consider it that great.

If Maliki can't hold power we may have created something much worse than what was there before we ever got involved.
