Quisling douchebag Joe Lieberman 7/10/07: “We’ve turned the tide with the new strategy."
A "cause for optimism." -- yore preznit, 7/12/07.
Desert country undergoing "sea change." -- Joint Chiefs chief/Bush lickspittle Gen. Pace, 7/17/07.
The U.S. mission in Iraq is a "nightmare with no end in sight" because of political misjudgments after the fall of Saddam Hussein that continue today. "There is nothing going on today in Washington that would give us hope" that things are going to change. -- former chief of U.S.-led forces and phony soldier Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, 10/12/07.
A "catastrophic failure" in the Bush administration's leadership of the Iraq war has mired the United States in a nightmarish conflict with no clear way out, the former top U.S. commander in Iraq said on Friday.Why does the former top U.S. commander in Iraq hare America?
The blistering assessment by retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez was one of the harshest yet by a top military leader involved in the war.
"There has been a glaring, unfortunate display of incompetent strategic leadership within our national leaders," Sanchez told a group of military reporters, according to a copy of his remarks.
"America continues its desperate struggle in Iraq without any concerted effort to devise a strategy that will achieve 'victory' in that war-torn country or in the greater conflict against extremism," he said.
Without mentioning George W. Bush by name, he called the president's troop-escalation "surge" strategy a "desperate attempt by an administration that has not accepted the political and economic realities of this war."

Failure? That's a glass-half-empty point of view.
If you intended to stay in Iraq forever, control the oil supplies (w/o those pesky meters, mind you) and make scrillions of money buying Exxon or Halliburton stock, then this war has been a resounding undeniable SUCCESS!
