Not only that, but the sky is falling!

"Sinkhole!," Chris "Chicken Little" Matthews entitles his session of Bush-bashing tonight. The news from Iraq, of course, is good: al-Sadr is on the run, the June 30 handover looms, and despite the incessant dwelling on the Abu Ghraib scandal, it seems certain that fewer than two thousand Americans will die (despite comparisons to Vietnam, where we lost 57,000)- and we will win the war.

More than a little detail, that last. But Saddam is gone, and Iraq has the first chance in its history to be a democracy. Sorry, Chris and company....but we win.

You know. The opposite of losing.
