Rigged election. Saddam not on ballot. Osama not on ballot. Jimmy Carter not there to watch. Castro not supporting FREE elections. Islomomurderers not killing enough. Democrats in denial. Wow! What a day!

Thank the Lord that The Prez was wise enough not to let that POS Carter go to Iraq.

I am so happy for the Iraqi people. Let freedom ring in tribute to those of us that have died for them to have this privilege!

We're watching a country being born here, before our eyes. Like all births, it's painful, loud, and messy. And what comes out is fragile and might not be all that attractive. But the bottom line is that it's still something magical, watching the people of Iraq bear a new society, something better than they had.

It won't be perfect. But with some help, it'll be a damnsight better than what they had...IF we stay the course to help them. And if we do, then the sacrifices our brave men and women have had to make will not be in vain.

There was a lot of bloodshed and infighting before America won her independence from the British despots and their tories- collaborators/traitors..

And more violence post war... as growing pains must plague any new nation struggling to break with it's past.

It will take a few generations of free Iraqis before the old ones are no longer able to shape and influence the younger as they take over the reigns.

"On this side of the world, saying something and coming through and doing it means a great deal,"

That's true with most sane people. Hopefully the MSM will sober up and get back in touch with reality.

"Democrats everywhere are deeply saddened"

It's a thing of beauty, isn't it? Rush is right -- Good news for the US and Iraq is bad news for the RATs!
(Someone needs to post that picture of a dejected Tom Daschle slumping in his seat! That sums up the RATs mood!)

Iraq could tomorrow place orders for 250,000 Chevy and 250,000 Ford trucks and the left would still call it all a corrupt quagmire.
