NION Updated
I pointed out, quite a while back about all of the things that were done to improve the life of the average Iraqi, none of which were done In Your Names.
Today, we transferred complete sovereignty and responsibility for internal security to the Iraqi government, and the populace is celebrating, partying in the streets.
But that was not done in your name, either. You get absolutely NO credit whatsoever.
Harry Reid, the current leader of the NION Congress, declared this war, and the cause behind it, “lost”. He was wrong then, and he doesn’t get to claim that he was right today.
Nancy Pelosi and her Code Pink collaborators were wrong then, and they are just as wrong now.
Every single person who willingly attended the numerous anti-Bush anti-America anti-war rallies and random destruction parades? You were wrong then, and you are just as wrong today, and you get NONE of the credit for this outcome, because you have specifically repudiated it.
However, I will be generous, and give you full and sole credit for all of the acts that WERE done in your name, and while it may not have been done at your specific direction, it WAS done with your gleeful connivance. Such as this one. And this little beauty. You may not have built or set off the bombs yourself (like any of you would actually expose yourself to real danger, rather than the protection of our civilian police force, hamstrung by courts and common human decency, unlike the despotic regimes you champion), but you are agitating against the forces that are trying to prevent such attacks, turning yourself into good little Useful Idiots, and for no other reason than because you either hate Bush or you hate America.
Or both.
But rejoice, because we are finally withdrawing from Iraq, and you get what you want. In a way. (Much like the Nazis could be said to have “won” WW2.)
The main problem you will have is that you LOST, because America won, and Iraqis are free for the first time in history. And, again, none of it was done in your name.
