text: what is the definition of "victory" in iraq?   to be honest with you i don't think the word victory and iraq belong in the same sentence... with that said, any positive change that happens over there will have to come from within. yes our mission is to provide the vehicle for that happen, but i'm not convinced it will in the near future.  perhaps dividing the country up into three provinces would be an answer - but that leads to bigger problems. i think our victory will be when the troops come home once and for all, and thier victory (should it happen) will be when they can learn to live with one another.
