As soon as one goal is achieved they shift the goal posts.
Every time the whiners start bitching about this or that or the other thing, the Iraqis and the Coalition hit the target. So instead of admitting they were wrong, the whiners shift the target. That is all that is going on in the NIE here. 1st the Iraqis couldn’t write a Constitution or form a govt, did that, then they whined about the lack of Iraqi forces, fixed that, then the security situation was bad, fixed that NOW they are whining about a lack of political process.
Really bad news for the Do Nothing whiners on Iraq. Here are just 3 stories from yesterday that demonstrate how completely clueless on Iraq they all are.
Security is the 1st step. Until the security scene is stabilized, you will get no real political and economic progress. People are not going to get involved in the Govt or build up businesses if they have a real chance of seeing their wives and children raped and murdered before they get their own head cut off with a dull saber for their troubles. Now that progress has been made on security, you are all ready seeing progress on the political front. The Economic front will follow.
The Leftist think they see an opening door on Iraq but, because they simply tune out all factual reality to cling to their dogmas on Iraq, they are instead going to run their face in to the door yet again. We are all ready seeing signs that the political process, glacierially slow at any time in any Arab country even without all the structural problems Iraq faces, is coming unstuck.
