To Iraq
Posted on 01/09/2009 6:10:14 AM PST by Dawnsblood
Iraq has started to reap the benefits of the status of forces agreement with the United States. The United Nations Security Council voted to set the ground for relieving Iraq from the restrictions of Chapter Seven of the UN Charter. In fact, the remaining effects of previous resolutions will from now on serve only to protect Iraq’s assets from claims by other parties, not to impose anything on the people of Iraq. Sovereignty, which was lost two decades ago under Saddam Hussein’s capricious and belligerent reign, is being restored to the nation.
The Security Council resolution 1859 states, among other things, that Iraq is no longer a threat to its neighbors, region, or the world. The United States has succeeded in transforming a bellicose, autocratic state into a friendly one that is making steady progress towards becoming a self-sustaining democracy — the international community is finally coming to recognize this transformation.
This resolution is bound to make a positive impact on the domestic and regional levels. First and foremost it is a testimony to the United States’ true desire to help Iraq get on its feet and relieve it from restrictions that belong to a past era — the United States is indisputably a friendly protector of Iraq, not an occupier as many like to claim.

I’m wondering how long it’ll be before Obama jumps in and screws the people of Iraq.
But, but Jim McDermott, Harry Reid and Jim Murtha said the war was lost and the U.S. was really an occupying, neo-colonial power. I guess they’ll apologize now.
Yeah. Saddam kept the trains running on time /sarc
What’s the tax rate and cost of living over there, and do they accept Americans?
Right, and the MSM will really play the success up and credit George Bush. Yeah, right!
