#7 WOO HOO!

So this means that we will no longer have to hear these words from the LLLs:
US "occupation"
Quagmire
Bush "regime"
Us "imperialism"

Right? Heh. Asspie Dems like "humpty" are incapable of being happy or pleased in any way that what they have wished for has come true. Humpty, please piss off and take all your friends with yo. Your side LOST AGAIN and there is no amount of spin you can unleash that can diminish the greatness of this day for the Iraqis and for those of us who's confidence in US motives never wavered.

#8 And Uncle Saddam will be handed over to the Iraqis in 2 weeks

But according to Fox, he'll be indicted this week. Which basically means he'll be mobbed and killed.

#9 Which basically means he'll be mobbed and killed

And that's a bad thing how? So long as it's Iraqi's mobbing him I'm cool with that. As a matter of fact, is there any where I can donate some stones? I've got some nice sharp ones.

Today is a good day for freedom, for liberty and for peace. Expect the trolls to be out in force. Let's all refrain from feeding them.

#11 Happy news!
I was a bit nervous about the countdown to Wednesday and now we can relax (sort of).

They know things are going badly for the forces of Evil.

#13 WaPo reports over weekend that Iraqi CIVILIANS in Baquba attacked jihadis with their personal AK47's (LH tips hat to gunlovers :) ) Things are definitely brewing over there.

#15 Yes, kind of .... but I'm giving it a 50-50 chance of an anti-Sunni bloodbath unless the US decides to help keep that from happening ....

#16 This is beautiful:

Mr Bremer handed Allawi and Yawar a letter from US President George W. Bush, requesting a resumption of diplomatic relations between the countries that were frozen in 1990 after then president Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait.

#17 Outstanding! The Bush doctrine of preemption continues - and it caught the jihadis and the leftists flatfooted. No doubt the media is crankin' up the ol' spin machine in an effort to catch up - that oughta be fun to watch.

#18 So whats humpty saying? That the UK, Germany, Japan and South Korea arent soveriegn nations because large numbers of US troops are standing on their soil?

Or is he saying that Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Greece arent soveriegn because they are dependant on NATO protection? I cant tell........

#19 The memes from those who oppose the liberation of Iraq are as follows
1. The transition doesnt matter.
2. Advancing it two days is just a propaganda ploy

This follows from the standard subject changing and goal post shifting. Back in Feb, when the security situation looked good, and the political future was up in the air, all that mattered was the political future. Now that the political plan is moving forward on or ahead of schedule, its time to say it doesnt matter until security situation is resolved. To counter this it will be necessary to continue focus on successes of Iraqi forces.
