Obama Proclaims an End, not a Victory
Wednesday September 01, 2010 2:29 AM  Put away the streamers cancel the parade and forget about feeling good about a mission accomplished because after listening to his speech tonight I now know how Korean War vets must feel, like we just ended a stalemate. In a professorial style for an approximately twenty minute Oval Office speech, President Obama may have been well spoken but he left many with the feeling that we did little more than stop smashing dishes at the neighbor's house down the street.

CBO: Eight Years of Iraq War Cost Less Than Stimulus Act
Monday August 30, 2010 3:36 PM  It is fair to debate whether or not the war in Iraq was a good idea. The financial cost was great and the human toll even worse. Contrary to Democrat Harry Reid's assertion that the war was lost, victory in Iraq is finally happening due to the success of the surge.
