Quote of the week (possibly even quote of the year)

“It really comes down to this: you are determined to see Iraq become a permanent hellhole because you hate Bush. And we are determined to see Iraq become a success, because we want to live.”

— IraqPundit, addressing the anti-war left, in a post titled “When Good News Is Bad News” – 11/7/07

What an excellent statement. So true and so sad that people actually want to see us lose.

Michael Yon is one of the most important people in Iraq, despite his typical modesty. He is responsible for getting a lot of good news out that would never show up otherwise. And he tells it like it is, no sugar coating, the good and the bad, he’s a realist and a great photographer as well.

The statement referenced above is all too true unfortunately. That’s the “reality based” and “caring” community talking, they deny reality, and wish for the most horrific of outcomes just so they can say “told you so” about the war. Their hatred of Bush outweighs their humanity by a large margin, which is repulsive and disgusting. But then, these are both the same people and people cut from the same cloth as those who rejoiced when Vietnam was abandoned and millions died in SE Asia.

Yeah, they obviously “care.” About what I have no idea, but it’s not people.

“…because we want to live.” As opposed to the Left-
who are fatalist. Terrorism and nuclear jihad are just part of the indeterminacy of life.
Which is why the Left must be defeated.(I like Mitt).
I too appreciate Michael Yon’s reportage. May he and it go forth and multiply. The good news…finally.
