No, we won’t. Not on this one – notice their conspicuous absence? The cowards don’t have the nerve to face this one head on, so they hide from it and pretend it doesn’t exist. They don’t dare comment.

Just like they hide from the fact that even they have to admit that this Stimuluseless package that Pelosi is pushing is the probably the single worst piece of budget legislation ever proposed in the history of the United States. Don’t believe that? Try to top a trillion dollar friends and family giveaway. Seriously, try to find anything that tops that, ever, try to find anything close. Even the democrat-controlled CBOE says that only about 10% of the package is any kind of stimulus. No one can even try to make a serious argument in favor of it once the actual items are laid out for inspection.

The only good news is that the wheels are coming off the Obama train faster than I thought they could. The bad news is that we are still totally screwed for 4 years, and the country that will be left behind when this crowd is done will be permanently weaker and poorer.

It’s an obvious defeat for those who opposed the Iraq War. They didn’t want this to happen, tried everything they could to keep it from happening, and are now hoping we will join them in just letting it recede into the background.

Democracy and peace in Iraq is a resounding defeat for Iran, a big black eye for al_Qaida, a defeat for those who tried to defund the war, a defeat for those who said “not in our name”, and a big bloody nose for those who said “war never solves anything”.

I’m sure we’ll hear from those who post here and were against the war that it cost too much in lives and treasure, but that in itself is an admission that they were wrong, their side voted for this war when predictions were for ten times the number of casualties, and the cost is already being paid back with lower world crude prices, somewhat due to the promise of increased Iraqi extraction. And instead of the proceeds going to another Palace for Saddam or his sons, it is going to a newly freed populace, those the left once claimed to care about.

Go ahead…ignore the favorable strategic re-alignment afforded the US by this victory..go ahead and try to convince us it was wrong to free 26 million necks from the boot heel of a tyrant…go ahead and sweep under the rug the role al-Qaida’s humiliation played in keeping us safe here at home…please proceed with more predictions, tell us much more about the “failed policies” that led us to this historic victory you would rather ignore.

Barack Obama congratulated the UNITED NATIONS on these peaceful elections.
ABC News reported:

US President Barack Obama has praised Iraq’s provincial elections as an “important step forward” for the future of the country.

“This important step forward should continue the process of Iraqis taking responsibility for their future,” Mr Obama said in a statement after millions of Iraqis went to the polls to elect councils in 14 or Iraq’s 18 provinces.

Security for the country’s first ballot since 2005 was extremely tight, with Iraqi police and military deployed in force, and Mr Obama praised the technical assistance by the United Nations and other organisations to Iraq’s electoral commission, which he said “performed professionally under difficult circumstances.”

Mr Obama said “it is important that the councils get seated, select new governors and begin work on behalf of the Iraqi people who elected them.”
The United States still has 130,000 soldiers stationed in Iraq. The country has seen a major turnaround due to the Bush Surge in 2007.

The president’s statement was not posted on the White House website

If we had used it would Obama have won?

Obama lacks the grace to comment on the election in Iraq.

But you know this has to be a proud day for our military.

I am so glad it went well.
