Victory in Iraq

Marines_in_Saddams_palace.jpg

That victory was much more than a dignified escape from a sticky predicament. The coalition victory in Iraq was a historical turning point that may well turn out to be comparable to the cannonade of Valmy. It changed the course of world history. We have not done justice to those who gave their lives in Iraq until we recognize the full dimensions of their achievement.

The story of Iraq has yet to be told. It is too politically sensitive for the intelligentsia to handle just yet; passions need to cool before the professors and the pundits who worked themselves into paroxysms of hatred and disdain for the Bush administration can come to grips with how wrongheaded they've been. It took decades for the intelligentsia to face the possibility that the cretinous Reagan-monster might have, um, helped win the Cold War, and even now they haven't asked themselves any tough questions about the Left's blind hatred of the man who did more than any other human being to save the world from nuclear war. -- Memorial Day: The War in Iraq | Via Meadia

Your Say

I hope Professor Mead is correct. It was an amazing accomplishment in the face of very bad odds. If it holds and Iraq becomes a successful nation it will be a near miracle. Though they are potentially wealthier and better educated than most Muslim countries, they are still deeply tribal. That does not help when becoming a nation newly ruled representative government.

None of that should detract from honoring this seemingly already forgotten victory. Our troops are awesome!

Pundits and Press, the Left looking at Bush or Reagan in unfiltered light? THAT Damascus road conversion is of monumental scale.

No, Reagan took the Left's Paladin and made a bear rug of it.

Bush took the Lefties Boy's Club, the UN and broke their favorite moneymaking tool, "Food for Oil" after which he had the audacity to set up a Democracy. You think Prof Pantload is teaching truth and light?

Victors get to write history, this war isn't over yet.

And to think...Google toppled Hosni Mubarak in a few weeks.
Our troops,
our country, our people, our values, our ideals are awesome. You can lead a Muslim nation to liberty, but you can't make it appreciate it or convince it to partake in it, let alone cherish and protect it.

Muslims extremists and Lefitst alike have always and will always consider the Iraq war and unjust occupation.

Being American is a state of mind - it's a privilege to be earned - an achievement worth defending and only the most humble and deserving truly grasp that concept.

The Left, the Obama Administration, are working to destroy that, not only in America, but abroad as well.

Therefore, this Memorial Day and every one that falls under Obama's presidency, should commemorate the America we might have been, the America we were meant to be before the Progressives screwed it up.

Someone.. anyone.. feel free to convince me I'm wrong. Otherwise, our fallen gave their lives for... Obama's vision of America??? That would be tragic.

That is true, and was always the intention, not an accidental by-product. But one more victory like that and we will have lost the war. In exporting our values we have failed to retain them.
