Surge Watch

Ace links to some positive developments coming out of Iraq. Read the news here because it's not the sort of thing you'll generally see in the MSM.

You know, I've been watching the political dynamics pretty closely and I've really just got this to say:

We may wind up defeated in the end. If so, I hope we can at least retreat with the knowledge that we did the best job we could. That will be of some comfort, at least, as we prepare to fight it out in our next line of defenses.

However, I still believe we can and will win. Given my belief, I've got a message for those (mostly on the Left) who don't really give a damn about the war (but support the troops!) and only care about how to use it to get at Dubya. I've got the same message for those (mostly in the Center and on the Right) who have played summer soldier and sunshine patriot, demanding that we cut and run as soon as things look tough. And the message is this: I don't know which lot of you I find more contemptible. I also hope you don't think I'm going to forget the horrid things you've been saying or the damage you've caused to this country. You're going to rue the day, my friends. I'm talking imminent rueage.

That is all.
