Bush's New Definition of Victory in Iraq

Bush has simply defined "victory" as a decrease in sectarian violence, and doesn't really talk about the "strong ally" (or ally, period), or about the shining democracy that will make dictators across the Middle East tremble. Heck, we don't even care about car bombings, unemployment, a deadlocked Parliament, or refugees in the new picture of "success".

Robert Gates has even gone so far as to suggest that that Iraqis kicking us out would be considered "victory".
