Well, said Ed! And I know I feel safer now that was have found and destroyed
all those WMD that were an imminent threat to "our way of life". We have
toppled Osma Hussian who supplied the murders for the airplanes and so far it
has only cost a mere 79 billion, well actually a a little more with the added
87 billion and more to come. But we have made our world safer, haven't we? We
have strengthened our ties with our European allies and we have shown we are a
responsible memember of the world community.

Liberals are hopping mad about the war with Iraq. Showing the nuance
and complexity of thought liberals pride themselves on, they are
excitedly restating all the arguments they made before the war --
which arguments were soundly rejected by the American people, the U.S.
Congress and the Bush administration.

Before the war, they said Saddam Hussein -- their favorite world
leader behind Jacques Chirac -- was not a threat to America's
interests in the region, was not developing weapons of mass
destruction, and did not harbor terrorists. Now that we've taken the
country and are uncovering mass graves, canisters of poison gases,
victims of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction and colonies of
terrorists, liberals are claiming the war created it all.

Thus, an op-ed piece in The New York Times recently proclaimed:
"America has taken a country that was not a terrorist threat and
turned it into one." This was written by Jessica Stern of the Harvard
Kennedy School of Government (Motto: "Where mediocre students pay
exorbitant sums to say they went to Harvard"). You can't win with
these people. The termites are swarming out into the light of day, and
liberals are blaming the exterminator.

Liberals simply refuse to consider thoughts that would interfere with
their lemming-like groupthink. They hold their hands over their ears
like little children who don't want to listen to mother.

Yes, perhaps there are important textural differences between secular
Saddam loyalists and Islamic crazies -- though it's a little odd to be
lectured on nuance from people who can grasp no difference whatsoever
between Bill O'Reilly and Jesse Helms. But as George Bush said: You
are with the terrorists or you are with America. Now we're getting a
pretty clear picture of who is with the terrorists. As George Patton
said, I like when the enemy shoots at me; then I know where the
*******s are and can kill them.

But liberals are indignant for every day that we haven't turned a
barbaric land into Vermont. They were willing to give Stalin 36 years
for the awkwardness of his revolution. We have essentially imposed a
revolution on Iraq -- and liberals give us a month to work out the
bugs. U.S. forces in Baghdad say that Iraq is well on its way to
establishing American-style representative democracy and might even be
holding its first free elections in less than a year. Within three
years the Iraqi people could be recalling their first governor.

Indeed, the war is going so well that now liberals have to create
absurd straw-man arguments no one ever uttered in order to accuse the
Bush administration of horrible miscalculations. Amid her sneering,
PMS-induced anger toward the Bush administration, New York Times
columnist Maureen Dowd claimed the Bush administration was "shaken" to
discover "the terrible truth: Just because we got Odai and Qusai,
Iraqi militants are not going to stop blowing up Westerners." I'd love
to see the quote where anyone in the Bush administration -- anyone in
the universe -- said that.

Admittedly, Republicans were not mourning the deaths of Odai and Qusai
the way Democrats were, but only a moron would think that killing
these two monsters would mark the end of the war on terrorism.
Normandy didn't end World War II. That didn't make it a failure.
MacArthur was still in Tokyo straightening out Japan in 1950 -- five
years after V-J Day. Not only was Japan an advanced and ethnically
unified country, but U.S. forces also made things easier for MacArthur
by killing several million of the most militant anti-American Japanese
during World War II. Paul Bremer doesn't have this advantage in Iraq.
In fact, he has the reverse situation: Saddam killed the most
pro-American Iraqis before the war.

With all their pointless chitchat about Osama bin Laden, liberals of
all people ought to have known the war would not be over with the
deaths of Odai and Qusai. Speaking of which -- where is Osama? We
haven't heard much from him lately. Nor is Saddam Hussein out shaking
his puny fist at the Great Satan anymore. Concerned that he might try
to sneak out in disguise, U.S. soldiers in Iraq have been given
pictures of Saddam Hussein in various outfits, hairstyles and even
makeup schemes. (And I thought this was kind of interesting -- it
turns out he's a "winter.")

What is the point of liberal carping? What precisely are they
proposing we do? Turn tail and abandon Iraq to the mullahs and the
Syrians? Revert to the Democrats' tried-and-true method of abandoning
the region to any local Pol Pot who might turn up?

Clinton's statesmanlike response to Islamic fanatics was to do nothing
-- except when he needed to distract from his impeachment and would
suddenly start bombing foreign countries at random. In eight years,
the only domestic Muslim terrorist Clinton went after was a blind
cleric sitting outside a mosque in New Jersey behind a card table with
an "Ask Me About Terrorism" sign.

The Clinton approach was working great, if you don't count the first
bombing of the World Trade Center, the bombing of our Air Force
housing complex in Saudi Arabia, the bombing of our embassies in Kenya
and Tanzania, the bombing of the USS Cole and, finally, the greatest
terrorist attack in the history of the world right here on U.S. soil
on Sept. 11, 2001.

We have seen how well the Democrats' surrender approach works for 50
years. We saw it again last week. The United Nations stood shoulder to
shoulder with American liberals, France, Germany and Saddam Hussein in
opposing war with Iraq. And then last week in Iraq, the little
darlings bombed the U.N. embassy in Baghdad. But that's Bush's fault,
too. Perhaps Bush is also responsible for J-Lo and Ben Affleck's bomb
of a movie. The only people whom liberals absolutely refuse to hold
accountable for anything are their friends, the Islamofascists.
