Now military expert and author
Michael Yon begins his New York Post op-ed with these five words: "The Iraq War is over."He goes on:
Flames still burst from various sources and wild cards remain, such as the potential that Muqtada al-Sadr might stomp his feet and encourage his diminished militias to attack us. Yet support for Sadr among Shia is hardly monolithic. In fact, many Shia view him as a simpleton whose influence derives strictly from respect for his father. Others cite the threat from Iran, but the Iranian participation in the fighting here remains overstated.
Nobody knows what the future will bring, but the civil war has completely ended.
The Iraqi army and police grow stronger by the month, and even the National Police (NP) are gaining a degree of respect and credibility.
Victory!

We'll believe it when we see it.
When Obama takes office in January,
will he keep the "Couch", or will
he put him out at the curb?

Promises mean nothing to him...
