The day nobody was killed in Iraq
The Australian ^ | November 05, 2007 | Tom Baldwin and Deborah Haynes

Posted on 11/04/2007 4:32:54 PM PST by Fido969

IT is whispered about at the margins of meetings, and discussed in Washington parties where rumour is passed around with the wine and canapes.

It even appears, fleetingly, to be fact.

This is great news. Of course the MSM is ignoring it. But history appears likely to prove our side right, even if the Iraq War wasn’t always carried out without error.

That's because in the end Good always wins.

“even if the Iraq War wasn’t always carried out without error.”

Name me a War that was carried out without error, or even one with fewer errors than this Iraq “war”. I can remember the “military” phase being carried out with extreme efficiency. Its apparent that the MSM and the Democrats have not read (or chose to forget) military history.

MSM and ‘rats don’t have a clue in military matters or history. They even fail to grasp the significance of them. To them history is a changeable platform to justify current politics. Military to them is something bad that needs to be abolished.

As best as I can see Bush’s critics have been in error far more often than he.

Lincoln was roundly reviled almost throughout the Civil War.

Lee, possibly the most brilliant general in American history, was routinely pilloried in Southern editorials.

I can only imagine what the LSM would have made of Valley Forge.

The Normandy invasion only succeeded because the German general staff was convinced that the main blow would fall at Pas de Calais.

Victory is often only clear in retrospect.

This is very, very good news. God bless those you men and women in Iraq who are not only keeping us safe, but have liberated 25 Million Iraq people. This whole venture, although never run smoothly, but then what war is, was a valiant effort on President Bush. History will give him credit for the good that took place. The bad will eventually become a footnote.

Quotes and Facts on Iraq (Statements they try to forget, but won’t be forgotten)

Senator John Edwards, when asked about “Axis of Evil” countries Iran, Iraq, and North Korea:

“I mean, we have three different countries that, while they all present serious problems for the United States — they’re dictatorships, they’re involved in the development and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction — you know, the most imminent, clear and present threat to our country is not the same from those three countries. I think Iraq is the most serious and imminent threat to our country.”

Senator John Edwards (Democrat, North Carolina)

Maybe Mary and her boss could arrange to go over seas and help reunite these folks with their families instead of spreading propaganda for the enemy:

Perhaps Mary or Gunga-Dan could explain why advanced Mig fighters were buried in the sand....

why Iraqi rivers are contaminated with mustard, sarin, cyanide, or other chemical weapons that they say Saddam never had or used against his own people.

I don’t think Philly could make that claim.
