On Iraq Vote

[Annie]

I could post all of these seperately, probably get more discussion, but I'm tired and lazy. Needless to say, I concur-the Iraqis are doing their part, our military has done theirs and continues to do so, it's the MSM that is letting everyone down, for political purposes:

PUBLIUS has an Iraq elections roundup -- and don't miss Chester's liveblogging, which is full of news and links.

UPDATE: Roger Simon writes:

Operation Iraqi Freedom - began March 19, 2003
Election to ratify constitution for a democratic Iraq - October 14, 2005

That's two years and seven months. . . .​

Anybody want to take a bet about how history will regard Operation Iraqi Freedom? No wonder the New York Times is singing a different tune this morning.

Heh. Indeed.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Norm Geras looks at two sides in Iraq. Here's Norm's comment on the antiwar side:

"The paragraph as a whole is a nice illustration of the anti-war system of accounting, which some of us who favoured the liberation of Iraq find hard to stomach (once stomachs is what you're talking): everything bad that has happened since the war is a result of the war; anything good that has happened is... why, something else entirely. But there are people who are capable of seeing the trick here, of seeing that the phrase 'the way its dictator was overthrown' includes the phrase 'its dictator was overthrown'."​

Indeed.

ANOTHER UPDATE: More historical perspective from Gateway Pundit.
