And yes, the media in my country at least takes the occasional critical view about the wars, probably not the case where you live.

It hasn't changed. The criteria for victory has been the same. It's been the people who've been pushing "failure" that have been moving the goalposts all along. Now that we're actually seeing success in both theaters, we're not hearing much in the mainstream media. And the biggie for us here is that the Democrats cannot even discuss it because their own words will come back to eat them alive. You're still arguing about why we went there. You're in a time warp. My questions about people who make the arguments like you make, were answered over a year ago.
I don't know where you live, but the U.S. media is highly critical and biased against U.S. interests in this war. They are quick to report bad, and downplay any good news. The fact is, we have to search for the good here. The fact that we hear less about these wars, especially right now during election season, proves that the stories reporting good news are valid.
