"The Right Side of History"

Given that hundreds of thousands came out in Lebanon to demonstrate for Syria (a rally that greatly outnumbered recent demonstrations against Syria's presence in Lebanon), and given that the best trained, best lead, most technologically advanced army in the world can't get a handle on the insurgency, never mind the Iraqis stabalizing the country themselves, for this guy to come out and claim that the Iraq war (even under it's most recent justification) is a sure success is so premature he might as well have written it in a flight suit with a "Mission Accomplished" banner on his wall.

Edit: And why does he feel he can waive Afghanistan in the leftist's faces when that war had both bipartisan and widespread international support?
