Do you think it is possible that all the doom saying about how the liberation (use occupation if it makes you feel better) in Iraq is going has backfired on anti-war interests?
The vote in Iraq was a resounding success - even the network news channels, which are not always very friendly to the POTUS, are gushing. I think it's possible that by adopting the mantra of total failure in Iraq the anti war crowed might look a bit foolish at the moment. There was ABC coverage last night from Faluja, long lines of voters in relative safety where there once was a no-go zone.
I think it may be very easy for the POTUS to position at the State of the Union address tomorrow that we're winning the war of liberation, that the strategy is working, that Iraqi's are stepping up to defend and take back their country.
