The view from right here

'It really comes down to this: you are determined to see Iraq become a permanent hellhole because you hate Bush. And we are determined to see Iraq become a success, because we want to live.'

I know I've repeated this about seventeen billion times (there may be some margin of error in that guesstimate) but the Iraq intervention apparently looks and sounds completely different if you are in Iraq. Probably because for Iraqis, four years is a long time and they want their normal lives back. Lefty twats in the US are still mimbling about Valerie Plame and WMD's and all the other tired lies; meanwhile, a multi-faceted societal implosion has run its course in Iraq, the US army and Marines held their ground, the population of Iraq have turned their backs on the various groupings of criminals, religious fanatics and psychopaths, and a rebuilding of Iraqs heavily battered infrastructure is starting to gather momentum. Something tells me that in 2025, there will still be groups of aging anti-war idiots bleating on about Valerie Plame and WMD's and Bushitler. By then of course, Iraqi's will be the most envied people in the middle east, driving from their new homes down their new highways to their jobs in their new industries, helped along by the mighty hand of Uncle Sam. The wizened autocrats of the surrounding states will be dusty memories, overthrown by the various enraged populi desparate for lives something like the Iraqi ones just over the border. Its a dream, but then so were the rebuilding of Germany, Japan, Korea etc etc.

I personally won't be happy until the last New York Post editorial pundit is hung by the entrails of the last MoveOn radical. Because for me, its all about the blood!
