This writer is seriously deluded about our impact in Iraq, especially the “surge” in Iraq. It plainly won that war!
Does she think that protests would be so bold in Iran if not for a functioning democracy next door? Sure Iraq has political problems, but every nation does.
The bottom line is that the situations in Iraq and Afghanistan are not comparable.
“this writer is seriously deluded about our impact in Iraq, especially the “surge” in Iraq. It plainly won that war!”
but, Obammy is pissing away our hard won victory.
In a narrow military-sense, perhaps. The problem with all insurgencies is that the central government -- in this case, Baghdad -- has to 'seal the deal'. I think that they can, but 'our' part of this fight is rapidly coming to an end.
I agree with you- this author is seriously deluded.
