The Thrill Of Victory
IBDEditorials ^ | November 2008

Posted on 11/28/2008 5:56:45 PM PST by Kaslin

Iraq: Nineteen months after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid declared the war "lost," a freely elected Iraqi Parliament signs a security pact with the United States. We won. It is the terrorists and their appeasers who lost.


While Americans sat down for Thanksgiving dinner deciding what they were thankful for, the Iraqi parliament Thursday passed an agreement with the U.S. that set a date certain for American withdrawal, as war critics wanted. But it was based on conditions on the ground, as the Bush administration insisted.

The conditions on the ground are that the jihadists are a spent force that lost the war as well as the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people. Province after province has been returned to Iraqi control, and the young Iraqi nation appears both willing and able to defend itself.

Under the terms of the agreement, U.S. forces will withdraw from Iraqi towns and cities by June 30, 2009, and the entire country by Jan. 1, 2012. The deal could still be rejected by the Iraqi people in a referendum scheduled for July 30, a key Sunni demand to get their agreement, but by then U.S. troops will no longer be a visible presence in urban areas.

...the entire country by Jan. 1, 2012.

Which means that the Iraq war will end sooner than the Korean war and WWII.

Ironically, that one, the one who wanted us to leave Iraq while Al Qaeda was still entrenched, is considered the good guy in all of this.

52% of the American people don't deserve this victory. Heck, they probably don't even understand it.

Dems will be given full credit for everything good that ever has happened or will happen in Iraq. The morons in this country who think that Obama is qualified to be president will fully believe that "change" saved the Middle East. It's infuriating, pathetic and sad.
