Subject: Iraq Terrorist War ending in Aug 2011 -- Victory or Defeat

Gents:

A simple question in comparison as to how will Iraq be viewed in five years -- Victory or Defeat:

If the United States brings home its combat troops from Iraq in August 2011, and then in 2013-ish, the Iraq nation is overwhelmed and defeated by the Taliban or terrorist units, will the Media then brand the Iraq War a U.S. defeat-- even though our combat troops left two years previously? Or does it matter which U.S. political party or president is in power come in to play as to defining what is Victory or Defeat?

The time-span of two years (a 'decent interval' as Henry Kissinger phrased it) would be the same length of time as when combat troops left Vietnam in 1973, and Saigon RVN fell in 1975.
