"Iraq is a manufactured conflict for the sake of geopolitical dominance in the area." --Actress/radio host Janeane Garofalo

"There's a lot of peer pressure to not do positive stories out of Iraq... I think there's a sense that the administration got a pass during the hot days of war and now that the war is over it's time to even out the deck somewhat." --Jerry Nachman

"Our enemies around the globe gain great advantage by having the United States mired in an Iraqi civil war. Clearly, continuing to pursue the president's flawed escalation policy until at least July 2008 is not in the national interest of the United States." --Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

"Iraq began destroying those missiles they don't have over the weekend. See, President Bush may be the smartest military president in history. First, he gets Iraq to destroy all of their own weapons. Then he declares war." --Jay Leno

"Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things." -–Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on looting in Iraq after the U.S. invasion, adding "stuff happens," April 11, 2003

I think our armed forces did every bit as well in Viet Nam war, but we lost when it came to the non-combat side. Once again, our armed forces have risen to the occasion and done an outstanding job of routing the enemy. The difference this time is that the Left was not allowed to rob them of their success by using the MSM as a weapon. This time both enemies have been defeated, at least for now!
