Subject: Is the Iraq War won already?
YelliChink    5/31/2008 10:11:56 AM
I am just wondering why I don't hear bloody bombs that kill innocent Iraqi civilians anymore? At least not as often and as bloody as it once was, and not as often and as graphic as it was once fed through new services. I have to dig news out of piles of nonsense to find some continual violence in Iraq, and it doesn't seem as bad as Sri Lanka or Colombia.

In short, is the Iraq War already won, albeit quietly, such that most of the goals of the US set out by GWB in 2003 have reached acceptable level?

Saddam Hussein deposed................ checked
Al Qaeda in Iraq defeated............. checked
Iraqis run a democracy................ checked
Violence goes down.................... checked
Anti-Coalition violence down.......... checked
Iraqis run sn effective government.... unchecked
Disarming militias.................... unchecked
Rebuilding Iraq Infrastructure........ seriously unchecked
Iraqis able to defend themselves...... unchecked

Well, there is still a long way to go.
