A War Worth Winning

Predictably there were protests on the third anniversary of the start of the liberation of Iraq. Of course the antiwar crowd tries to pretend it is motivated by sincere concern, but of course this is nonsensical. The Iraq War remains a war to be proud of.

One of the antiwar talking points is that Saddamite Iraq didn't back Al Qaida and thus had no role in the 2001 attacks on the US. Why people actually believe this is beyond puzzling since Iraq's alliance with Al Qaida was well known in the 1990s and more details of Saddamite Iraq's backing of international terrorism continue to emerge.

Of course a lot of ink is spilled about the standoff in Iraq, but this late February look at improvised explosives best sums up who is really on the defensive.

The question to ask is - why should America give up trying to win in Iraq?
