Correct nomenclature, please

Rico says everyone continues to refer to the military action in Iraq as a 'war'. Technically, that's not true, ever since then-President Bush declared victory. (And see how well that worked...)
What we have in Iraq is an occupation, rather like what we did in Germany after 1945. The difference is that the Iraqis (some of them) are doing what we feared the Germans would do: continue the war by unconventional means.
So, no war. We won that, by any normal standard.
We don't have to 'end' the war again, either. We just need to fold our tents and come home, thus ending the occupation. What the Iraqis will have to deal with once we're gone, of course, will be shitty, but that'll be their problem.
Unfortunately, we did all this to increase the supply of oil out of the Iraqi fields, which isn't happening, thus we'll continue to pay ugly prices at the pump. (Currently back up to two bucks a gallon for regular around here.)
If we can get out under five thousand dead, of course, we'll be doing well...
