This is what victory looks like:

Senior U.S. military officials are developing plans to speed the deployment of thousands of additional troops to Afghanistan, including possibly pulling the next brigade scheduled to go to Iraq this fall and sending it to Afghanistan instead.

President Bush has already committed to beefing up the U.S. presence in Afghanistan next year. But Defense Department officials said the recent efforts of military planners would accelerate the process and could allow the new brigade of 3,500 soldiers to deploy there before the end of this year.

When the American forces in Europe finished mopping up the crushed Nazi war machine, they started getting on ships bound for Japan. We haven't started directly redeploying soldiers from Iraq to Afghanistan yet but look for that as a final indication that we've completed our task in Iraq.

You know how you can tell things are going really well in Iraq? The Marines are asking to be redeployed to where some real action is.
