It has HAPPENED. Yes, it is true -- Obama can still screw it up. But my point in making that post is that the post election bickering is no worse than we have right here in America. It is not different from Dems trying to steal elections. We are an established democracy. Iraq is trying to become one, or so it says. Big, big difference. The Iraqi civilian death toll last month was, I believe, 191 -- or thereabouts. Contrast that with the 5,000 that were dying each month before Saddam was removed. Yes, some Iraqis lost their lives in this process, but they have turned the corner and are certainly not seeing the loss of life they were before Saddam was taken out. What can I say? Only you can spin something bad into something good. Bravo! As time moves on, it is going to become very difficult to find any basis for criticizing Bush on the Iraq War. Trust me, criticizing Bush over Iraq will never be a problem.
