“Iraq is a success story”
Yep. Dec 15th 2003. V-I Day. That was a success. We’ve been spinning our wheels since. There is no such thing as a strong stable ally in that region. (Unless you count Israel) Otherwise things can turn on a dime. Like Pakistan, Egypt or Iran. How bout we make them all weak and submissive instead?
No, we haven't. Amazing changes have taken place. You just don't know anything about it because CNN and all that other garbage doesn't ever report it.
There is no such thing as a strong stable ally in that region.
With that attitude, there never would be.
Fortunately, most of us aren't gloom-and-doomers (just the Democrats) and we see the distinct possibilities and subsequent benefits of this.
And it's working now. So much that the gloom-and-doomers are going to have to bury their heads even deeper in the sand in order to ignore it.
Don't suffocate, OK? ;-)
