#1 Mosul is build on top of the old Assyrian Empire capital of Nineveh. Gargamelda where Alexander whipped Xerxes III is about 20 miles east near Abril...talk about history everywhere...

Anyway, when what's his name, the guy that sits behind the desk in the Oval Office, announced we were leaving Iraq, did he say we won or just that the war was over?

Me thinks he wants to demean our efforts in Iraq by not claiming victory. When you pack up and leave, you either won or you lost.

Which is it? Of course Georgie, Miss Me yet?, Bush said we won and what we've fought since then has been by proxy, Iran and Syria with a little KSA and Hizbullah thrown in, not fighting a war against Iraq. So did we win or did we lose? Or does what's his name want the world to think we lost?
