#1 Woo Doggies! And in the WaPo, no less Talk about a sign of the End Times.

I think we will start to see more and more of this. Iraq is slowly turning into a success as the jihadis both get sqeezed and alienate the citizens. The Iraqi people are beginning to feel safe enough to rat out the jihadis in their neighoborhoods. Despite being ignored by the media, the Iraqi military and police are playing an increasingly effective role. Even the Sunnis are giving up their attempt to become the New Paleostinians and are realizing it is easier to ride a horse in the direction it's going.

When Iraq becomes an undeniable success, it will not look good for the media to still be rooting for the other side. As for the Democratic Party, I suspect tickets for the Wayback Machine will be in great demand as everyone tries to rewind to 1998 or so back when they were for the war before they were against it.

#2 For my part, I have no intention of letting them forget their part in the opposition. If my moonbat brother-in-law ever, EVER, dares to speak of the progress we are making in the ME, I will be there to ask him, "What do you mean, 'we'?"

#3 The anti-victory types will still deny things aren't as bad as they want. After all, this guy is an Officer. They LOVE to kill and blow things up. Just ask Hanoi "Burkha" Jane.

#6 Next column will come from Neal Gabler, who'll argue that the Marine was actually a CIA Psy-ops officer planted by the evil Rove-Cheney machine to lightly rinse Americans' brains.
