WINGNUTS ARE REALLY IN THE TANK

A. J. Strata went sticky wet about "progress" in Iraq and one of the delusional commenters wrote this:

OK, let’s sum it up:

twenty six million necks have been removed from the boot heel of a tyrant……

order restored, democracy installed, disparate Iraqi sects now working in unison…….

al-Qaida in Iraq defeated, Iran’s attempted meddling thwarted, a huge punch to the face of radical Islam…….

one less America-hating nation state, that could have sponsored more 9-11’s, replaced by a country now naming streets for George W. Bush……

It’s going to be fun watching the left attempting to spin this into a defeat for America…

First, Paul Wolfowitz admitted that the freeing Iraqis from a tyrant was at best a tertiary reason to invade Iraq. Claiming the order has been restored in Iraq is preposterous. Al Qaida in Iraq has NOT been defeated and that's what the DOD says (5/15/2008)

Q Earlier this week Colonel McMaster said that al Qaeda in Iraq was on its way to defeat. Colonel Paschal, when he was describing a few days the situation in the north, had a similarly positive assessment of al Qaeda in Iraq being degraded in the Kirkuk area. Is there more confidence now within the Pentagon and senior leadership that al Qaeda in Iraq has been defeated, more confidence now than there was, say, a few months back?

MR. MORRELL: I don't think you're going to hear anybody at this podium or elsewhere in this building talking at this point about the defeat of al Qaeda. Clearly, their ability to conduct widespread terror within Iraq continues.

Iran still seems to be a power broker in Iraq and radical Islam is about as strong now as it was on 9/10/2001.
