Like PD says, you need to accept an arguable premise up front to really say "Yes that shows the US is winning". but it's not a bad argument to at least say it's not as clear who might be ahead right now as some of us might have been thinking.
I really don't agree with this statement though "In addition, the political situation is increasingly manageable in Iraq."
Still wondering if the "Bush without constraints" wildcard comment at the end was meant to sound hopeful or scarey.
