If trends continue, I think Iraq could wind up as a smashing success. Every time a lib encounters an Iraqi or sees one on TV, it will be a reminder of how utterly wrong the Dims were on Iraq. They wanted failure and suffering in order to teach Bush (and America) a lesson. But here will be Iraqis going about their lives with satisfaction, in a country that wouldn’t have existed without George W Bush. Granted libs will have managed to rationalize their sicko defeatism, but still, on some level that would have to sting. And if Iraqis were to display even a particle of appreciation for the US’s efforts — oh man, the libs’ goat would be thoroughly gotten.
