Operation Iraqi Freedom - um, we won the war?

Interesting, notably quiet (in the MSM) end of combat troops in Iraq: the last combat brigade pulled out of Iraq this week. Hmm. There's still a lot of work to do. As Blackfive notes, Clausewitz taught that war is the continuation of politics by other means. Blackfive: "We are [now] moving from war to a very tense political environment." Read the whole thing.

This was "Bush's war." Wonder if President Obama will have anything to say on the subject. Probably not. How can you blame Bush for winning?
