I am sorry, didn’t we go through this five years ago with "Mission Accomplished" and all that? Four thousand U.S. deaths and countless more maimed, with the world condemning the U.S. from one end to the other, and Bush still pretends the Iraq invasion was a "success" and the war is "winnable"? President Bush: Iraq War Was Success and Will End in Victory [Times Online]. Time warp indeed. This craziness in Iraq has been a quagmire the whole time, and the irony is that only Donald Rumsfeld — deposed for political reasons in ’06 — ever had the cohones to admit it.
