It’s been a long time since I’ve seen any fighting. I can’t remember my last shootout: it’s been months. The nightmare is ending. Al Qaeda is being crushed. The Sunni tribes are awakening all across Iraq and foreswearing violence for negotiation. Many of the Shia are ready to stop the fighting that undermines their ability to forge and manage a new government. This is a complex and still delicate denouement, and the war may not be over yet. But the Muslims are saying it’s time to come home. And the Christians are saying it’s time to come home. They are weary, and there is much work to be done.
And yet the Democrats want it to continue because they so desperately want George Bush to lose.
News you will never read in the New York Times and other “mainstream” media.
I am a Democrat. I do not want this war to continue. George Bush is no longer on the ballot (thank God).
I for one genuinely hope that there is a good outcome in Iraq, although any definition of a “good outcome” will have to be measured against the cost it took (and continues to take) to get there. However, pardon me if I am sceptical of claims that things are improving. Is the possibility that a reduction in violence is due to at least in part to successful “ethnic cleansing” not to be considered? Or is that too MSM?
“I am a Democrat. I do not want this war to continue. George Bush is no longer on the ballot (thank God).”
But Hillary Clinton probably is. Does that cheer your Democratic heart, Professor?
