Energy alternatives, gas prices, New Yorker cover illustrations, the market rising and falling, the new Batman movie, a growing concern over Pakistan, the Allstar game, Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac, the news these days is filled with everything except the one thing American Liberals have been torturing themselves with guilt and angrily attacking conservatives over. That Illegal War in Iraq George Bush started, which
we "cannot win" and which presidential hopeful
Barack Obama has pledged to "end". Victory is not in the Democratic vocabulary.
So today we go to Iraq, to hear the words of the foremost expert journalist, who has unfailingly been on the ground with the troops, watching as the months go by the developments concerning this "quagmire". Michael Yon has posted the following report about the situation on the ground there now.
His latest analysis says:
by my estimation, the Iraq War is over. We won. Which means the Iraqi people won.
Huh? Is this something I missed on the CBS Evening News? Did CNN have a special report I missed while my local news was broadcasting a live feed of Barack Obama at the NAACP convention here in Cincinnati? My jaw hangs open. This is being missed by the GOP the same way they're missing the chance to lead the nation into energy independence. Baffoons.
Expect this fact to be ignored by the Enemedia until a Democratic Politician can stand up and beat his chest proclaiming to all the surrender monkey syncophants and Leftist America Haters that fill the campaign coffers, that "he has ended the war in Iraq",
just like he said he would.
From Commentary Magazine, Michael J. Totten weighs in to say:
What most of us still think of as “war” in Iraq is, at this point, a
rough and unfinished peacekeeping mission. Whether it is officially
over or not, it has certainly been downgraded to something else, and
it’s about time more analysts and observers are willing to say so.
