The AP admits we are winning in Iraq. If you wanted us out of Iraq a few years ago, if you wanted us to run like cowards because the going was a bit tough, if you uttered the words “not in my name” while speaking about Iraq, then you cannot claim the victory that pretty much everyone has now come to the conclusion Iraq is.
