3 years later is the US winning the war?

First of all, Mike, I don't know what the fuck "islamcists" are ... I assume you are referring to the terrorists who use Islam as their justification. I don't think linking them with all of Islam is any more accurate than labeling all Christians as supporters of the so-called Christian Identity movement.

Second, I doubt very seriously that any of the folks allegedly pouring into Iraq from the region truly represented a threat to our children, our schools, yada-yada-yada. I'm convinced that claims of foreign participation in the conflict in Iraq continue to be overstated. My reason for saying this is very simple - if substantial numbers of foreign fighters were being killed or captured in Iraq, we'd be seeing perp walks and bodies stacked up, and both Fox News and Scott McClellan wouldn't stop talking about it. This is not to say that there are not foreign fighters in Iraq; I have no doubt there are.

I repeat what I've said before - the attempts to tie the war in Iraq in with the war on terror are, on the whole, pretty inaccurate. Talk of Iraqis, Arabs in general, or other mud people "seizing our schools and killing out children" makes good rhetoric, but is based more on fearmongering than fact.
