Why Won’t Dems Acknowledge Progress in Iraq?
Short answer: because your version of ‘progress’ costs too much money and just prolongs a lost cause and gets more Americans killed. That’s not to say that the so-called ‘surge’ has accomplished nothing. It’s probable that Iraq would be in a better (more stable) state today after a U.S. withdrawal than it would have been before the surge. But, really, that isn’t saying much. Iraq is not remotely stable. And it certainly hasn’t been worth the cost in money or lives.
It’s actually not even worthy of debate. Iraq is irrevocably broken. Some say, that was the point all along.
