I'm not sure that the eventual victory was ever really in question, but it is the fact that it was achieved with brillant dispatch and low casualties, in what to most observers was an unprecidented effort to reduce civilian casualties, and preserve the religious and cultural trappings of Iraq, and in the face of the frustrated fulminations of the looney left.

When the PC Pacifists go to the groin, and opine that our victories were due to killer faggots, I have to wonder... are they getting any? Can Peg be trusted with the pointy end of a dildo?

When the same video is shown from levendy-seven different viewpoints on every cable and satellite station I can get, and presumabley sane people claim it is faked, I have to wonder if that Number 2 Spalding hit on the Moon in 1970 wasn't just product placement.

It can't help that CNN is now playing the prior comments of those from the left, who now appear to be idiots in the face of the present state of things.

But have some faith, even a blind squirrel finds some nuts. This thing isn't over yet, and there may be something the left can salvage from this situation. Maybe all the Special Republican Guard were gay or prefferred one-humped camels. Maybe one Marine will NOT say, "I just want to go home to my family," when interviewed on TV. Then Clinton's entire first year of the presidency will not have been wasted. (His second year was, of course, spent on the indictments being returned on his Cabinet).

In any case, the angels of my better nature have asked me to desist from further rough treatment of the blow-up dolls of the left (which, as we know from the various advertisments, are anatomically correct in every way, and in some cases include hair). After all, the shouts and screams have never bothered me, it's the damn wimpering afterward...
