Depends on how you define "success in Iraq" and an "improving economy".
To me, success in Iraq means we stabilize the mess we've made (and I don't refer just to the recent invasion, but rather the decades of fucking Arabs over while smiling and handing the rulers of whichever one is our mineral-rights bearing ally today the guns and gasses necessary to fuck over whichever one is our mineral-rights hoarding enemy) and get our troops back home just as soon as we can. Of course, after decades of fucking over the Arab world as national policy, this isn't going to be easy.
As for the economy, only folks who care about political spin could say increases in jobs, wages, or benefits are bad for working people. Unless you mean to imply that no Democrats work for a living (in which case you really are a party-blinded sychophant), but I digress.
So, when Democrats were in power, was economic growth good for America, but bad for Republicans? Were successful anti-terror operations good for America, but bad for Republicans? Does the world seem more black and white to you today or less so than it did then? (those are rhetorical questions, but feel free to reply to any part of this, Ronnie)
