Theo -- I've spoken to soldiers and others who've served in Iraq. I've heard Gen. Petraeus describe the situation. Read the Argus Journal description of the war and Obama's take on it: Without the surge in Iraq that, lest we forget, Sen. Obama strongly opposed, and whose success he tries to deny, Iraq would be in chaos, America's enemies crowing, terrorism revitalized, our allies demoralized and the rest of the Middle East quaking. I would call that victory. Now go away, will ya?

I want you to provide your readers some sources, some credible leaders of our great country, who have declared the Iraq war as won. How about John McCain, can you please provide us with an example of him declaring the war won? I think it’s fair to say you are in denial if there is no one else declaring the war won. You just ignored the example I provided you of President Bush saying the war is not yet won.
Provide some credible examples or wear the moniker of Novice blogger with distinction.

Theo — It has been won, and you’re in denial if you believe otherwise.

Right….clearly you are busy pandering to your base! Your “Iraq war has been won” is eerily familar to a certain President’s “Mission accomplished”. Fool me once, shame on you…

Theo — Imagine there are no clouds in the sky and I say it’s blue. I bet you’d say it’s red just to argue. Sorry, but I don’t have time to erase your knowledge base and reload your gray matter with sound thinking. Adios!

Did you really say the war has been won in Iraq? Let’s be brutally honest here. The Surge is working, yet the War has not been “won” yet, as you have declared! President Bush stated as much this morning and I quote: “General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker caution that the progress is still reversible, but they report that there now appears to be a “degree of durability” to the gains we have made.” The Iraq war has not been won yet!
As to your so called “example” I can say the same for Barack: (Take the war in Iraq as one example. Against all others, Obama advocated against it, and it turned out to be the right move.)
You conviently are missing the forest for the trees. McCain also had the “wisdom” to choose to vote for the War in Iraq. Maybe if he didn’t vote for it, there would be no need for the “surge” and it’s costly price! (American lives)
So are you as proud of McCain’s vote for the War? And who else stands w/ you seeing Iraq as essential to the war on terror?
Fact: McCain is a politician, Barack is a politician. Let’s be real and have honest discourse as to who would be the best POLITICIAN to lead our country.
What we need is objective discourse & not blatantly partisan views.
You’re letting me down, I thought you would present an viable argument for your guy.

Theo — Take the war on terror as one example. Against all others, McCain advocated the surge, and it turned out to be the right move. Now, we’ve won the war in Iraq. Obama, on the other hand, won’t admit the surge has worked because such an admission will make him look like a fool and play into the hands of McCain. With Obama, it’s politics first, country and common sense later. He’s lame as are those who support him!

I think it’s disingenuous of you to say that McCain has a plan w/out providing an example of that plan. Especially when all we have heard from McCain the past couple of weeks is how bad, inexperienced and famous (infamous) Barack is. I ask you for one example where McCain is elaborate on what his policy would be & Barack is vague. If you can’t provide the same, I would dare say, at the risk of offending you that you are either naive or mendacious.
