Senator McCain, in talking about Iraq, keeps on saying that we need to bring our troops home in victory. I think he's missing a larger point, which is this - it's no longer our war to win. We won when we overthrew Saddam Hussein, and won again when we captured him and delivered him to justice. But in the Bush administration's poor planning for the aftermath of the war, we opened up a sectarian can of worms and a civil war, as well as a new front for Iran to strengthen and exert it's influence. The longer we stay there, the harder it's going to be for the Iraqis to come up with their own political solution to their sectarian mess.
