When it comes to Iraq, Joe Lieberman smells napalm in the morning

lieberman
Apparently "mission accomplished" was already taken:
[Joe] LIEBERMAN: Iraq which we thought we had lost not so long ago, now looks like to me like a success. I?d say, I?d use the word victory because I?m, you know, I?m old fashioned.

Perhaps Lieberman's statement was prompted by this news:

Three more American soldiers were killed this week, the United States military announced on Thursday, bringing the combat-related deaths for United States forces in Iraq to a monthly toll not seen since 2008.

... because he did acknowledge that:

But as we see in the paper, extremists, Islamic extremists will continue to blow themselves and other people in Iraq up, and so the victory is not going to be as satisfying as it?s been in other conflicts we?ve been involved in ...

Indeed. People being blown up and U.S. soldiers continuing to die isn't as satisfying as what we used to call victory?otherwise known as winning. As the newfangled crowd likes to call it.
