“We” is the United States. We won the war. The surge worked. The naysayers were all wrong; thanks to U.S. military might, Iraqis (see them? Shiny, happy Iraqis!) have been liberated from death, destruction, grief, and sorrow.
Well. At least, that’s what it looks like from 10,000 miles away. Close up, it looks a bit different.
But, by gum, we won, and Iraqis are free. Because we said we did, and because we say they are.
