Captain's Quarters: Syria Coughed Up Saddam's Brother

Captain's Quarters: Syria Coughed Up Saddam's Brother (via Glenn). Hindrocket at Power Line comments.

When Bush declares that we will not be driven from Iraq, and that we aren't going to run away from tough situations, many on the hard left chide him for 'cowboy' tough talk (or start with the chichenhawk nonsense), and it is their unwillingness or inability to understand the outcomes of their weakness that makes them so dangerous. We have paid a hefty price in both blood and treasure in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the War on Terror, and hopefully we are rounding the corner in the region. When vile and oppressive regimes who have previously thumbed their noses at the United States and the rest of the world begin to re-think their positions, it may be a sign that we are starting to see the real results of our dedication to the cause and our unwavering will.

Emphasis mine.

the fact that Bush thought his re-election was a ratification of his Iraq 'strategery' is laughable. the fact that no one has been held accountable for the incredible lapse in pre-war planning is even more so. After zero signs of wmd's, no plans for the insurgency, and prison war crimes, this mission has been a disaster. To claim heavy military combat OVER when Bush did ices the cake. the fact is, we are not turning a corner, the elections, though successful, will do nothing to suppress the insurgents. saddam is gone, yet iraqis continue to die by the men of their own nation. we have dug a hole we cannot get out of in the near future. let us hope the next adminstration will find more effective ways to combat those who threaten and attack us, instead of devising plans that create more terror than they prevent. as a bush supporter, its too bad this plan has gone so awfully awry. turning the corner? we can't even see it yet.

Historic change is taking place in the middle east, and somehow you're missing it.
