... at the end of the day, we are losing the war not because of what we call our enemies in Iraq but because of how the people of Iraq see our enemies -- and the U.S. military.
And as long as American troops are seen as, what a report by an Iraqi National Assembly committee called,
“occupation forces”; and as long as
Shiite, Kurdish, and Sunni leaders agree, as they did at a U.S.-backed conference last week, that the insurgency is “legitimate”; and as long as Iraqi leaders like former Prime Minister Allawi and Shiite leader Abdul Aziz Hakim continue to paint a dark picture of what’s going on in George Bush’s Iraq, the president’s new victory vocabulary is just another pathetic diversion.
A diversion ginned up to fight the enemy he is most concerned with: the rejectionists here at home who are finally rejecting his lies.From
