It must be a depressing day for I hate Bush leftists to witness such a stunning achievement in foreign policy as Iraq moves toward democracy. Not at all. In fact, they have a democracy, a constitution, and 100 trained battalions. The Sunnis are voting in large numbers. Democracy is thriving. JMHollen kindly provided this link of the state of the so-called war in Iraq: patriotfiles.org Let's declare victory and move on out. jttmab P.S. You might want to reconsider the grammatical structure of I hate Bush leftists. That structure says something different than leftists who hate Bush. Hopefully, you can see the difference.

People dislike Bush because he's an incompetent liar, thief and n'er do well who is both dangerous and damaging to this country. Why do you like him? I don't know what will happen to Iraq and, of course, neither does the Bush administration since it stated that the end of major combat operations were over 2 and a half years ago. OOOPS. My speculation is that the insurgency would have had the air taken out of it if the Constitution failed. That would mean that Iraq protected its minority Sunni population and that the political system would work for them. As it was, the last minute shennanigans by the Shiites to redefine how votes were counted spoke volumes about how they would wield power. This is not promising either: Iraq vote counts 'point to fraud'http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4351680.stm You should have higher expectations for those supposedly leading the world's last remaining superpower. I think that's really what's wrong with the rightwing: you guys have no standards so you easily accept all manner of immoral, unethical and grossly incompetent behavior as long as it's clothed in a blow dried Republican shell.
