    The ASSociated Press has Bush Asserts U.S. Is Winning Iraq War

    President Bush asserted Sunday night the United States is winning the war in Iraq but acknowledged setbacks and the doubts of some “that the war is lost and not worth another dime or another day.”

    He pleaded with Americans to ignore “defeatists who refuse to see that anything is right.”

    Defeatists like Murtha and Pelosi.

    As he has in the past three weeks, Bush acknowledged that missteps and setbacks and took responsibility for ordering the invasion based on faulty intelligence.

    But, he said, “Not only can we win the war in Iraq — we are winning the war in Iraq.”

    He said there were only two options for the United States — victory or defeat.

    Indeed!
