IRAQ WAR has been WON --- by Iran.

Saddam's Sunni regime was a threat to Shi'ite Iran regime.
Now Iraq, occupied by the U$A, is politically fragmented and powerless.

So the Iran regime has lost a military threat on its western border;
and gained an opportunity to influence Iraqi Shi'ites,
especially in southern Iraq.

Before the Bush regime invaded Iraq, I was among the anti-war demonstrators
who warned, "Don't do it." I was glad to see Saddam over-thrown
(tho I would have been gladder to see him merely assassinated, without an invasion).
Once the Bush regime reached Baghdad, it should have announced that it would withdraw
(at least from Sunni areas) as soon as Saddam was captured. This would have encouraged Iraqis
to find [ and capture or kill ] Saddam quickly.

Instead, the clueless Bushites had no plan, and made many mistakes,
so that the occupation drags on and on and on.
Now Bushites are talking about ten years or more.
