Obama will not get his chance to end the war in Iraq. George Bush already did, and now he has wrapped up that victory by negotiating the withdrawal of the victorious U.S. military. Bush always said that his was a "victory strategy," and he appears to be a man of his word. I know how much Democrats hate the supposedly outdated notions of "victory" and "defeat," but those concepts remain very real even if they offend liberal sensibilities. Al Qaeda in Iraq has been defeated, which means that Osama bin Laden's major strategic objective for the last 5 years has been completely thwarted (and al Qaeda's rapidly declining reputation throughout the Muslim world reflects their ignominious defeat). The Iraqi people are no longer in the grip of a genocidal madman whose elimination was strongly opposed by most members of the UN (including France and Germany, whose alternative plan would have the people of Iraq still ruthlessly oppressed by Saddam Hussein). Democracy has, indeed, been installed into the heart of the Middle East, a major strategic (neocon-inspired) objective, and the Iraqi people and their government strongly oppose terrorism. Moreover, the Iraqi people, if they are ever asked again, will indicate by huge margins that life is better now than it was under Saddam Hussein.

So where are we going next?

Nowhere hopefully. We just need to win in Afghanistan and not vote for defeat.

But I expect there will be a non-strategic interest conflict we'll get into.
