Three years later, 'progress' replaces 'victory'

If either president Bush had foreseen the outcomes, would each have invaded Iraq?

WASHINGTON – "There's evidence of real progress," says President Bush.

"We continue to make great progress," echoes Gen. George Casey.

"We are in a civil war," says former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi.

Three years after the launching of the Iraq invasion, you can play it upbeat or downbeat, depending on whether you consider 2,300 American lives and some 35,000 Iraqi lives as necessary losses on the road to democracy - never mind the multibillion-dollar financial cost.

I think of this as not only a three-year anniversary, but also a 15-year anniversary in a father-and-son war. And I wonder what both President Bushes might have done differently had they been given the gift of advance hindsight

1. The Bush family tarbaby

That's Iraq. 15 years of a father-son war that is fiscally and morally bankrupting the nation.
