How did the democrats get the rest of America to believe that ousting Saddam Hussein and building a free democracy in the Middle East was a bad thing?
How did they manage to get America to believe that Iraq is Vietnam, a quagmire, a civil war?
Sorry, but the facts don’t add up.
Iraq compared to the French quagmire…
A spokesman for the French police union says:
“We are in a state of civil war, orchestrated by radical Islamists. This is not a question of urban violence any more, it is an intifada …”
Infidel Bloggers Alliance has much more on the desperate situation in France.

According to Iraqi Body Count and the Brazilian Justice Ministry:
Some 55,000 Brazilians died of homicide in 2005 — a few thousand more civilians than in three years of war in Iraq, according to leading estimates.
Despite the new book by Grandpa Liberalism…
Iraq is not Vietnam! In fact, in three years of fighting in Iraq we have lost fewer Americans than in the morning hours on September 11, 2001.
Quagmire?
Is is too much to ask the mainstream media to report on the good news once in a while?
Like the fact that Iraqis have complete provincial control in 2 out of the 18 provinces? Or, that Iraqis are leading security efforts in a majority of the provinces now? Or, that the Iraqi military is losing more than twice as many soldiers/police as the Multi-national forces?… That Iraqis want their freedom?
Is this too much to ask from our mainstream media?
The Anchoress sees a change in MSM reporting on the horizon.
