Health care is one of the most pressing issues facing American voters todays!

Hey slacker, that's _my_ line. Interfere with my aspirations and you'll wish you had gone into Cambodia.

Ace, more loose shit. You're missing the word "one".

The President still hasn't told us his plan for the Middle East. Sure, people are voting and democracy is being spread.

BUT WHERE IS THE PLAN?

Cool. This means more of that crazy ass Iraqi line dancing. (My neck hurts just thinking about it.)

"Stability can only come from unity. When we have stability," he said, " then the Americans can go."

There is the plan. Its been the plan from day 1 as anybody with an ounce of common sense knows. Apparently, an "Iraqi man in the street" via the BBC seems to be better informed than the democrats in Congress.

It really is instructive of the mindset of the average liberal that they just can't concieve of people wanting to be free no matter where they are and given the chance, the ability to think for themselves and choose their own leaders. They are wrong of course. As usual.

This is awesome! I'm so happy for these people. Every person deserves to live in a free society.

I'm also damned thankful that I'm not the kind of person for whom these pictures will only elicit anger simply because they demonstrate the success of a political opponent.

Must suck to be a leftist today. How sad for them.

I hope right thinking Americans will see this for what it is; a radical change in a region where we shamefully accepted despotism and cruelty in order to maintain a shaky "stability". America's military has, in four years, taken down two of the most depraved regimes in the world and given the citizens a chance to live in something other than perpetual fear. It would be great if Democrats could see past their own partisanship and try and embrace that, but I won't hold my breath.

When will we know America has achieved victory in Iraq?

At the same time you read this headline in LeMonde:
France Decides to join the American led Coalition and Send Troops to Iraq

Hey Ace, are you spending so much time with that Mountain thing that you're having trouble telling the boys from the girls?

The 'one embedded reporter' is a female.

Male or female, that reporter is having to go through some major contortions to be able to "tell it like it is". She only has to make the next small step to conclude that, maybe, all her co-journalists are looking through glasses as dark as the ones she wore. She won't, though.

The reporter refers to success in Iraq as an untold story, but she grossly underestimates the scale of it.

Big Media hasn't merely missed a story, they've missed a thousand stories. They've missed a crucial story line, the only one that ultimately matters.

It's as if she came out of King Kong and said, "Hey, wait a minute! You mean the big ugly guy is a giant ape?"
