What does "victory" mean?
I want to know what "Victory in Iraq" means. As I see it, that is the key to this debate.
Does it mean pretend elections? Does it mean a chicken in every pot? Does it mean the utter destruction of the Mahdi Army? Does it mean the utter destruction of the nation of Iraq?
The BCF doesn't have a definition for this. When they talk about "coming home defeated," someone need to press them on the details of what would result in "coming home victorious." Then the hollowness of their position would be evident.
