Why look! It's the 10th anniversary of Mission Accomplished!
Aren't you glad that war ended so quickly, and that the subsequent occupation was so painless? That the Iraq we left behind is now a stable democracy free from violence and corruption? That the total effort won't cost anywhere near the one trilion dollars that naysayers like me thought it would?
(And aren't you glad that we aren't thinking about a similar venture in, say, Iran or Syria?)
