Cheney On Iraq: “Successful,” “Phenomenal,” “Remarkable”

So Vice President Last Throes went to Baghdad to survey the awesomeness and this graf pretty much says it all:

U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday declared the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq a "successful endeavor" during a visit to Baghdad, on the same day a woman suicide bomber killed 40 people.

Look, as Laura Bush famously said, Iraq is really going great — it’s just that one pesky suicide bomber that kills lots of people that bums everyone out.

Joining Cheney on his Iraq4Evah tour was St. McCain:

"The surge is working," McCain told CNN in an interview in Baghdad, countering demands by Democratic presidential candidates Clinton and Barack Obama for U.S. troops to be withdrawn from Iraq as soon as possible.

Yeah, it’s working so well that the market St. McCain used as the set for his photo-op last year is now controlled by the Mahdi army. It’s working so well that Gen. Petraeus admits it’s failed.

My question is — when does "working" or "winning" or "successful" mean "no more Americans getting killed"?
