Newspeak

"Not winning," otherwise known as losing, has now become:

"...not succeed[ing] as fast as we wanted to succeed.

Got that?

All the chaos and the all-but-admitted civil war; the continuing death and maiming of our soldiers and Iraqis; the completely compromised Iraqi army and police; the faltering Maliki government. That's not failure!

That's slow motion success.

The other George would be so proud.
