Solution in Iraq

The surge is working, if by working we mean that people are still fighting and getting killed. Everyone is sick of the American involvement in Iraq, not the least of which are the Iraqis. So at some point, the troops must go home. But when? After victory? Nobody knows what victory would look like anymore. The opportunity to march into Bagdad with flags waving and folks singing God Bless America came and went in the first month of the war. So at some point, the president must simply declare victory. See my earlier post.

The solution lies in the hands of the Congress. Rather than declaring that the war is lost, Democrats need to congradulate Bush and a great military strategy, declare victory themselves, since the dolt in the White House refuses to, and stop funding the war on the grounds that it is over and won.
