"To the sceptics and hard line critics of Bush's foreign policy, I say, just wait another ten years and see what transformation occurs in Iraq."

Mike,
I hate to quote Spiro Agnew but the current opponents of american policy are sounding more and more like the "nattering nabobs of negativism" he referred to some 35 years ago. I thought his words ill chosen then but they hit the mark today. His other line was "effete intellectual snobs". Also seems to apply to some of the critics.
You are right on with Croatia. What sickens me most about the current opposition is that they appear to be reveling in every set back and misfortune we encounter in iraq. It is smarmy at best and lets just leave it there. By the way the attacks on Neocon by Bileow are disgusting. Mike

PS believe bill safire actually penned those lines

I took a little time off, and have been less active since coming back, but I am still here. Glad to see you, Michael. Yes, there are things worth fighting for........
