6 years later, Iraq better but still shaky - Invasion Iraq: Six Years Later- msnbc.com (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29758543/page/2/)

Regardless of whether you believe we should be over there, it seems we've made some good strides over the last year. It's funny how we don't hear much about these strides though. I guess or horrendous economy has something to do about it.

Yes it is funny. The Iraq War went from being the "worst foreign policy blunder in American history" and "lost" to hardly worth mentioning in no time flat. The economy is part of the reason but it's not all of it. Let's see what the former head of the Nevada Gaming Comission has to say:

How about this, we file it away as a Bush win, and then in a year and half when Obama starts claiming it was his victory, we all agree that it was in fact a win for Bush. If Obama and the Democrats never bring it up, we all here agree not to either. Deal?

edit: I am also cool if we do the reverse for the economy, file it as a loss for Bush and the Dem Congress.

how about instead of saying its a Bush win, or an Obama win, we just say its a win for the United States?

simple, because politics do not work like that, and when re-election campaigns come around, the same person who said "lets set this aside will" will say peace came through my candidate. If we have a win now it should be noted that Bush's strategy worked. of course, Bush bashers would rather wait a year - year and a half and then let politicians make wildly false claims.
Let me ask you, if it is a US win, whose strategy brought about the win?

Win? How about we start choosing our words more carefully?
