Pay no attention to the success in Iraq!

It’s hard to find anywhere in the lame stream media or from a Dem presidential candidate, but apparently Gen Petraeus has begun to drain the swamp that lefties claimed was an Iraqi quagmire a mere two hour after the invasion started. After a spike in casualties during April due to hard fighting in Sadr City and Mosul, May saw the lowest number of monthly US casualties since the war began.

Egad man doesn’t Gen Petraeus know that B-HO has opposed this war from the start and declared it lost? Any success in Iraq will make the Dem’s Messiah look less Messial-like. No wonder the Dems were trashing Petraeus and declaring the surge a failure before it even began. Success in Iraq equals disaster for the Dems. Odd huh? An American political party’s success is tied to America’s failure in war. Who’d a thunk it? But jeez, don't question their patriotism.

And Iraq is not just succeeding militarily. Iraqi oil production is the highest since the war began. Sunnis have turned against al Qaeda and their brutal form jihad that targets Iraqi Muslims when it’s too hard or too dangerous to target Americans. Shiites have abandoned their militias in Sadr City and Mosul in favor of trusting the elected Iraqi government to make their local hell-holes more livable.

But the MSM and Dems are like kids at Christmas. They drop the box of badly need underwear and grab the next box in hope of finding the latest X-box game. For the MSM and Dems successes in Iraq are like the badly needed underwear - essential but no fun. So they drop and ignored that box in favor of some Iraqi political scandal or a soldier who shoots up a Koran. Now those stories are fun!

But progress in this part of the world is tenuous. Setbacks will occur. And the MSM and B-HO will be there to trumpet each and every setback with all the joy of 12 year old opening the latest Wii at Christmas. But the biggest setback for Iraq may occur here in the US on Nov 4th. If there are enough brain-dead people voting in the US to elect one of their own, the hard won gains in Iraq and the Middle East may be lost. Instead of having a solid democratic ally in Iraq as a counterweight to Iran, we are likely to see Iraq slip into chaos while our Pres B-HO sips tea with the lunatic dictator causing the trouble. Perhaps B-HO will go the extra mile with Ahmadinejad and thank him for...now how did frozen face Pelosi put it...oh yeah, Iran's "goodwill."

Idiot! You just can't make this stuff up.
