"We have a record in Iraq, imperfect as it is, of progress. The purple-ink stained fingers of Iraqis who voted for their own constitution last month is not a sidebar story, it's a feature. And a milestone event in the region.
For Democrats to want to pretend there was never a good reason for us to go into Iraq, and to claim there is nothing good happening there is a disservice to those who have died there and to every American who continues to serve there. Such manipulation is demoralizing to our guys and gals, to the Iraqis fighting for their future, and every freedom-loving man and woman living under an oppressor the world over."
Amen..The media and the dems are making me sick.
A free Iraq is better for the security of the United States and the world. Yet the moonbats are so idiotic that they think we'd be better off with Saddam Hussein in power. Pinheads.

EXACTLY!!
" Even if antiwar activist mom Cindy Sheehan gets more press time."
Yep, Abu Ghraib made it for 29 days on the NY Times front page while the Iraqi elections I don't think made it. And the MSM wants the French Intifada to go away.
While the media focuses on US casualties, they never seen to extend the numbers for the other side. I figure we're up around 50,000 of the bad guys with another 100,000 captured. That's a LOT of nutcases that have been taken out of circulation. I understand the hesitation of the pentagon to release figures, but we should certainly be smart enough to figure it out.
It never ceases to amaze me to think how the politicians can and will say anything for their purpose no matter what that purpose is and not blink an eye as to what cost was paid and still paying so that they can say what they say.
They go to sleep at night thinking how they can get one over on someone else or get more power and money because of people dying or how they can use it to their advantage.
Not to mention the fact that the Democratic party's ability to turn America against persevering represents the last chance for the jihad.
It is such an irony that the Arab street has already soured to the senseless killing but the American left is apparently desirous of more.
Another oft told democrat lie is that there was no 'exit strategy'. The strategy, from the start, was to eliminate Saddam, establish a democracy and get them on their feet, then leave. I was intensely interested in what the plan was because my youngest was on a camping trip with his friends at the time(Camp New York, Kuwait).
They would cut and run to the suburbs and leave the cities vulnerable.
