Victory and Violence

President Bush repeated his new metric for victory in Iraq today, stating success means "sectarian violence down."

So now we have gone from invading Iraq keep it from attacking the U.S., to a government that can "sustain, defend" and is an ally on the war on terror, to "Success is not 'no violence."

Our nation has given over 3000 of its brave soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines and coast guardsmen and spent well over 500 billion dollars.

He said today "But success is a level of violence where the people feel comfortable about living their daily lives."

Thats it people, the metrics for success in Iraq have boiled down to that. I have no idea where else he can go with that logic.

Will he next say success means garbage is picked up on a semi weekly basis?

Does anyone listen to this guy?

People are dying, and this is the crap he feeds the American public. Had he been honest and forthright with the American people, he would not be in this mess, in my opinion.

The U.S. is going to declare the surge has worked and victory has been attained in Iraq by September, because some members of the population of Iraq can collect their mail without their bodies being filled with ballbearings.
