Here's my take on the situation as of 12:01 this night, adapted from my #147 on the ATRW thread:
All is well tonight. The World Weekly News is preparing a headline on 50,000 human spontaneous combustions that have mysteriously struck certain inhabitants in the outer edges of Baghdad. Akmed has been transferred from roof to chimney sweeping duty, and he's the only one in town not breathing cruise missile soot.
The Democratic party just realized that the flag is red, white and blue, and not blue, white and red, and a certain former President of that persuasion is desparately piecing together the ashes of his draft card. The "peace" movement is digging graves in preparation of a veritable die-in. Dan Rather's SOS was picked up by Walter Cronkite, and they both sank. Ramsey Clark looked in the mirror, and the mirror didn't like what it saw. Verizon just delivered the latest Yellow Pages, the thickest edition ever, to Tom Daschle's office.
The United Nations is sinking beneath the FDR. Germany's best physicians have yet to figure out how to remove Schroeder's foot from his mouth without killing him. Chirac is flambe, best served with a well done French Coq-au-vin. Putin was caught in Mexico trying to sneak into Crawford to beg for mercy. China is keeping quiet, desparately hoping that Walmart's 1st quarter returns are strong.
The Arab street is on flashing red lights in all directions. Arafat's towel is all wet. Iran is Persian, Turkey is Ottoman, Egypt is in Africa, Syria is stuck in Lebanon, Jordan is under control, Kuwait is with us, Palestine is Isreali, Saudi Arabian is mumbling like an idiot because it has duct tape stuck on its beard, Afghanistan is run by our man Karzai, Pakistan is policing itself, and Yemen is hiding under a rock. Iraq is all alone.
Meanwhile Peter Arnett, Ramsey Clark, Bill Clinton, and Jesse Jackson are still stupid. Best of all, irrelevancy is their present M.O.
Above all, the U.S. Army has so many MRE's available, it's giving them away for free. On the downside, lines are huge outside of Basra.

I like your take on the world! Pretty much the way I see it too.
The war so far has been an astonishing success for our troops. I say to them: Don't rush, take your time and do the job right.
