Notice he didn't say "Iraq".
That's because it's working.
to be fair, the US militarily occupied iraq. It didn’t do so in iran, or gaza/PLO area, and it won’t in egypt. That provides a LOT more opportunity for radical elements to organize and subvert the process.
Only because there's 50,00 American troops still on the ground. Even with our presence the iraqis are murdering thousands of Christians and driving the rest out of the country. When we leave the place will dissolve into chaos in 60 days.
