We are winning, and something real and lasting is being created in Iraq. This is a "must read' piece by one of the true scholars of Arab culture and history.

Gee Imagine that,... an article that says the US is winning and is loved quoting Arabs, written by an Arab. Someone tell CNN’s Kristopher Ware to STFU and go back to reporting the Sheep-Shearing Contest in Auckland.

North and South will have the oil fields and Baghdad will be a booming tourist destination, with revenues shared by all.
And Iraq will be the beacon of democracy for the rest of the Middle East.
How do I know this? Because the Libs believe otherwise.

This guy is a politicla animal indeed, from Marxism, to Baathism, to New Iraqism, so I think he would have a good handle on things political inside Iraq.
And his news is good, so roll on General.

Sorry. “too little, too late,” (Hilllary), “This is an illegal war” (Ron Paul), “the war is lost” (Harry Reid), “we need to undertake a smart redeployment out of Iraq” (Barak Ubama), and this lying, greedy, corrupt, Hitlerian administration “cooked the intelligence” (Chris Dodd) so that General “Betray-us” (Moveon.org) could get into the fight and come report that he personally was “doing a good job.” (Ted Kennedy).
See, I know the truth. The Dims tell me all about it.
All is lost.

And the left can not wait to abort this baby before it is fully born. How can those that claim to be humanitarians so hunger for the genocide that withdrawal would most likely bring? They should be ashamed. It is good to see the line holding against the rabid left. The last time the line failed with Vietnam it failed primarily because of the Nixon Watergate fiasco leaving a neutered President Ford with little real political power. ‘Never again’ should be the mantra. Never again will America leave a people it pledged to defend to die defenseless and without hope.

For a man at the center of this great dispute, for the storm swirling around him and the endless predictions of his imminent ouster from power, there is an unhurried quality about Nouri al-Maliki. There is poise and deliberateness in him. The long years in exile must account for the patience. He had waited long for the deliverance of his people; ... I am beginning to gain respect for this man.
