How Do You Define "War?"

David Horowitz of "Front Page Magazine" says the "war in Iraq" is over now, and you'd better believe it. But by my definition of "war," it has been over since the first three weeks. It was mostly over within the FIRST week. But the liberals don't buy that, because American soldiers are still fighting and dying there. The "war" was actually over when Saddam was "deposed." But they claimed it wasn't over because we hadn't "gotten" Saddam. Then we "got" Saddam and pulled him out of his "hidey-hole" and the Iraqis executed him. Then they said it's not over until we "get" bin Laden (who, according to them has never been in Iraq). They'll never be satisfied. We've just spent four or five years "mopping up" while the Islamic terrorists who live there try the same thing they did SUCCESSFULLY in Afghanistan to Russia (but not to us). Hid behind trees and killed their soldiers, never staying around long enough to engage the soldiers in a REAL fight. They blew people up and "ran for the hills." They put out video-and audio tapes telling us how powerful they were and what they were going to do to us. Unfortunately, they were mostly unable to do it. Now the Iraqis themselves are "finishing the job" of "mopping up" in Iraq. The "war" is long over and the "mop-up" also is almost finished. But the liberals are still talking about "ending the war" that has been over for years. They want us to lose. That would be better for their fortunes. Unfortunately, we ARE winning, and it's getting to the point where they can no longer deny it. I'll be VERY interested in how they "spin it" when we are able to start bringing the troops home because we've won. They'll probably try to claim credit for it. (Front Page Magazine)
