We Won

These posts are getting easier and easier to write. Confederate Yankee notes that the tenth province has been handed over to the Iraqis and the former center of the Sunni insurgency in Iraq is about to go over soon as well.

How well do you think we'd be doing if we had followed Mr. Hope n' Change's marvelous judgment and run away a year ago?

Of course, had we done that, we could have saved about $100B and spent it on the hopelessly bloated public education industry or maybe thrown more of it at ethanol subsidies for the massive corporate farms in the Midwest. Do you think that would have been a better use of our time and money than turning one of the world's oil superpowers into a friendly democracy and removing a murderous tyrant?

Don't worry, I'm sure we'll find out. As soon as the money from Iraqi Freedom is made available following our successful withdrawal, you can be sure it will find it's way into the departments of Education and Agriculture. It always does.

God bless the USA.
