Bush finally defines victory as "a country that can govern itself, sustain itself and defend itself." Iraq fit that description BEFORE THE INVASION.
"THE PRESIDENT: Terry, I'd like our troops to come home, too, but I want them to come home with victory, and that is a country that can govern itself, sustain itself and defend itself. "

It will be very interesting to see how badly Lame Duck Bush contradicts himself now that he has lost control of the Congress. He'll probably try to make us believe he was all for a pull out of troops months ago, but no one would listen to him. Linda
