| Winning the war in Iraq |

Hello righty's:
I always thought of conservatives as being rather pragmatic, whereas I classify liberals as being wishful thinkers.
I know you say we are "winning" in Iraq, but you should pardon me if I am skeptical. I offer only two facts. To me, they indicate that we are NOT winning. Just who are the wishful thinkers in America?
1. Today is day 1,050 of the Iraq war. Day 912 of WW2 was D-Day. Iraq doesn't look any closer to being pacified than it did three years ago.
2. Most recent democratic elections held in the Middle East have produced victory for the terrorists. The jury is still out on the Iraqi election.

So do I. And I have no fear of a bomb going off on 6th Avenue in Manhattan. I can walk down the street pretty safely. So yes, by that standard, we are winning the war.
Thanks for agreeing with me.
