2. The Iraqi resistance certainly hopes so--that would mean that
the government of Iraq would be non-existent outside of Baghdad.

3. I think he's just getting either senile or demented.
Doesn't he know that England is moving a bunch of troops from Iraq to Afghanistan to help stablize the place?

6. Afghanistan was a bloody success? Control of one fucking city
and even that's lacking soundness and sturdiness.

to support the Veep's assessment?

16. I figured out why he said Afghanistan is a success.

17. Afghanistan, land of peace.

KABUL, Afghanistan - Afghan and U.S.-led coalition forces surrounded a rebel hide-out in southern Afghanistan on Thursday, and the number of insurgents killed from three days of fighting rose to 102, the defense ministry said.

The battle was one of the deadliest since the Taliban’s ouster more than three years ago and was sure to add to growing anxiety that an Iraq-style conflict is developing here.

“A total of 102 Taliban have been killed since the fighting started on Tuesday,” Defense Ministry spokesman Zahir Marad said, 26 more than were reported on Wednesday evening. “These deaths will have a huge impact on the rebels. Many are trying to flee. But we have them surrounded.”
