Iraq's Lawful Unity
IBD ^ | April 24, 2008

Iraq: Democrats insisted the surge couldn't succeed. When it did, they claimed it failed because Iraqis weren't using the "political breathing space" it provided. In fact, Iraq's ongoing political progress is stunning.


Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has been called an incompetent incapable of achieving consensus in a country that has never known representative government. The nation he tries in vain to run, we've been told for years now, is in a state of civil war. The only thing President Bush accomplished in invading it, they say, was to send American troops into a hopeless quagmire.

But speaking Tuesday in Kuwait to diplomats from the Middle East and around the world, including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, al-Maliki announced what would have sounded outlandish only a year ago — a new phase of national unity.

"Iraq has passed its crises and divisions," said the Shiite leader elected to head the Baghdad government.

On Thursday, al-Maliki announced a much-anticipated breakthrough: The Accordance Front, the main parliamentary coalition of Iraq's minority Sunni parties, has agreed to return to al-Maliki's government after withdrawing from his cabinet last summer.

The democrat party and the media are both disgraceful. They should be rounded up and sent to prison for committing acts of treason. Thank God we have an awesome military that is winning the war and making liberals look like the stupid cowards they truly are.

One of the most successful covered up stories in US History.

The Editors, Publishers and Producers of the US Junk Media have an awful lot to answer to the American people for. For people so pompously arrogant about the "People's right to know" and being "the 4th Branch of Govt." they have totally failed us on Iraq.
