"Why is it so hard to believe John Kerry?... Overcoming skepticism about Kerry's change of heart on Iraq will be especially challenging. For one thing, it tracks nicely with the general public's change of heart and coincides conveniently with the liberals' search for an antiwar champion. In addition, the antiwar fervor that Kerry displayed this week also coincides with an early poll from Iowa that puts John Edwards in first place with Democrats in that presidential caucus state. The two former running mates now seem to be vying for the antiwar political left." —Joan Vennochi
"Like the Sunni insurgency, the national Democrat Party and its congressional contingent has demonstrated time and again that they will willingly sacrifice the welfare and security of the American people to get their way... In the end, all that matters to them is regaining the power the American people took from them in 1994..." —Michael Reagan, "Patriot Post".

"One presidential visit to Baghdad is worth a thousand pathetic declarations of defeat from Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean or Ted Kennedy—none of whom has shown the least respect for the democratically elected and courageous leaders of reborn Iraq. Bush's visit forced the media to briefly stop whining about the phony issues of Haditha and Gitmo and to acknowledge that Iraq has a free, functioning government. But for ambitious journalists, inventing or exaggerating American misdeeds will always be more rewarding than telling the truth: Zarqawi's death was written off, while Haditha was written up. Still, glints of truth force their way through. And the truth is: We've got a president with guts; our efforts in Iraq are paying off, and their new government is far more important to Iraqis than Gitmo or Haditha." — Ralph Peters.
"When al-Qa'ida itself knows we're winning this war [in Iraq], how come Democratic politicians and the media elite in America want us to declare defeat?" —Investor's Business Daily, May 2006.
