[Grovenet] This is funny!

[Katie Allnutt]

It sure was nice back in the good old days when victory in a war  
meant that you could bring your soldiers home.
Somehow with Iraq and the hard core Republicans, victory means that  
we get to leave our soldiers there as long as possible. (Dumber than  
buffalo patties here too.)
I just don't see the logic behind declaring victory as a signal to  
President Obama that he better keep more troops there longer.

If the far right insists on Congress declaring victory in Iraq then  
they should also have the guts to define victory in Iraq as well.  
Recently, news is leaking out that there is an average of a bomb a  
day going off somewhere in Iraq. Most are small to be sure but some  
are not so small.  It would be nice to know that the Republicans  
think that a bomb a day is included in the definition of Bush's  
glorious victory so they don't come back 6 months from now with their  
panties in a wad because there is a bomb every other day in Iraq thus  
President Obama has unwon the war.

PS I love the language that they use -- Bush 'secured victory'.  They  
like to use secure as a verb but never as an adjective. You just  
don't hear them say Bush won a secure victory.
