Obey Declares Victory...for the Bad Guys

Rep. David Obey said Iraq is a lost cause. "There will be no victory in Iraq. The question is whether there is some way of salvaging the situation," he told a newspaper.

Wow. In just a few weeks allied forces kicked Saddam from power. A few months later he was captured. Now, Iraq is on the path to a free, stable government. I wonder what Obey would consider victory? I also wonder what he would have said about the carnage a Normandy if he was a Congressman during WWII?
