In response to MA's link..
I like how this just assumes that "we are winning the war in Iraq" and then goes off on a six paragraph harangue of "boohoo, liberals stole my lollipop" rhetoric. Meaningless, trite, deceptive, or any other adjectives or perjoratives you may prefer. The "liberal media" angle is played out here once again, with whatever shreds of credibility said angle still has after 40 years of service in the conservative arsenal of accusations.
The article already states that we have "won." If this were true, then yes, perhaps they would be back to the region of a dollar. However, they don't give any evidence of us having "won." If U.S. forces are still there, and car bombs are still going off, and there are Iraqi police putting down civilians with firearms, then we probably have not "won." Here, they're just going through the motions that the average flag-waving idiot gobbles right up.
And is it just me, or did you not just lock the 'Biased Media' thread, and then posted that link?

Theres no direct evidence of taking oil either.
But I would also think of how are we losing or can we ever lose? We are winning simply becuase the terrorists have not pushed us out of the country, they have not stopped the people of Iraq from voting, they have not stopped the forming of a government and to my knowledge there has been at least 2-3 mass Iraq voting days, which they have not stopped either. I mean the insurgents haven't done anything....
So I geuss we can't "win" and we can't "lose" either.
