Note to "Reality Based Community": Iraq War Over. We Won.

Although it's been said many times, many ways ... this post just never gets old:

THE Iraq War is over....

Last week, I shed my helmet and body armor and walked in south Baghdad as evening fell. The US soldiers who took me along were from the battle-hardened 10th Mountain Division; about half the platoon were combat veterans from Afghanistan and/or Iraq. Though most were in their 20s, they seemed like older men. None had even fired a weapon during this entire tour, which so far has lasted more than eight months, in what previously was one of the most dangerous areas of Iraq.

Those on the Left (and some on the Right) who declared the war "lost" during the past four years should really join the reality based community. We won. No thanks to your defeatism.

Thanks to CJ's link thingy.
