Wouldn't it be finished when no troops are dying? Isn't progress a measure of how close you are to your end goal? I don't only view it in terms of the death toll though. The fact that we're diverting more troops to afghanistan helps to show the current situation in Iraq.
Maybe I'm coming across as too argumentative. I understand and completely respect the fact that people have their own views. I don't expect you to agree with mine and really there isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to interpret the facts... as long as you have the facts right.
A NEW HIGH SCORE! What does "high score" mean? New high score, is that bad? What does that mean? Did I break it?
