	SitNews - Column: Defining victory down By DAN K. THOMASSON
		The "victory" Bush seems to be seeking is outside the dictionary definition of achieving "final and complete supremacy or superiority in a battle or war." That sort of victory has been elusive since World War II.
		What it seems to mean now is stabilization, with a decent interval - shades of Vietnam - for troops to be withdrawn and the Iraqi police and military forces and civilian government to become strong enough to handle the situation for a while.
		Victory in this case may be just a small bite that hopefully is worth the lives it took to get there.

		It's a decision that has been hailed as a victory for women in the ALP and, by implication, women in Australia.
		So while the women in the ALP are claiming a victory for women, the left are claiming a victory for the right -- and the right seem quite happy to live with the proposal.
