I've heard the weather in Hell has cooled down quite a bit...

A big TOLD YA SO to all the small minded hand wringing liberals out there.

Don't see President Bush being called a dumb cowboy too much anymore do we?

[Darkwolf377]

You know, it's fun to be right!

A little self-congratulation by Max, himself a neo-conservative.

Yes, there is a reason why the MSN downplays this Baghdad takeover.
A change to Democracy in the Arab world. Unheard of never ever imagined nor could it happen, yet this media plays things low, in cool down mode.
Bush, the one who already was out of office up to 7:00 on election day, shows up as this winner too?
And then an election soo dangerous that a delay needed to be called till things cleared up?
Move MSN, on to the next opportunity and drip him up with Social Security.
The liberal wing can't stand things any longer and would choke if Bush wins another one regardless of what happens to the youngsters.

maked for later review.

"I told you so" ping.

It might be just a tad too early to be self-congratulatory. Yes, elections were a smashing success in Iraq, but there are still over 100,000 Americans armed to the teeth over there propping up the results of that election. Far too many times before we have declared victory and disappeared, only to have the festering sore we left behind turn to gangrene.

I have never been in favor of George's Excellent Adventure in Iraq and still oppose the action on principle, but you can't argue with results. Now is the time to make sure we walk out the door upright, with well wishes behind us instead of backing out, wary of flying daggers.

At the time, this kind of talk was dismissed by pretty much everyone not employed by the White House as neocon nuttiness.

Never underestimate the real effects of "neocon nuttiness".

Don't you all know it's a damned quagmire!
