It was really a simple question, I think: What will satisfy your criteria
for a "win". We went to get rid of Saddam and to remove the "threat"
he supposedly posed. We did that. We "won". Mission accomplished.
Why are we still there? When is it enough to declare victory and leave?
I ask again: What are the terms of this "win" you lust after?
