Government allies see gains in Iraqi elections*

BAGHDAD (AP) - Allies of Iraq's U.S.-backed prime minister appeared
Sunday to have made gains in the provincial elections, rewarding
groups credited with reining in insurgents and militias...
"...US President Barack Obama has praised the polls as an ‘important
step forward’ for Iraq's future....."
* * *Victorious armies go home, at least the greater part
of them. Not one brigade has been withdrawn from Iraq,
despite all the Bush blather about "victory". Why not?
First we had stay until the WMDs could be found
Then we had to stay until an interim government was in place
Then we had to stay until Saddam was captured
Then we had to stay until a government could be elected
Then we had to stay until a constitution could be voted on
Then we had to stay until parlimentary elections could be held
Then we had to stay until Iraqi units would "stand up"
Then we had to stay to give Iraqs government "breathing room"
Then we had to stay so Iraq could meet it's "benchmarks".
Then we had to stay until "the Surge" could be tried.
And now we are staying until.......?- Hide quoted text -
