Spot On

Bruce Kessler over at Democracy Project has the take on where we are as a nation. "We've won in Iraq; now, let's not lose". The media keeps framing Iraq as another Vietnam, coverage is very slanted and very one-sided. The left keeps up ceaseless attacks fueled by a pathological hatred.

The most appalling thing about the Democrats’ and their media allies approach to Iraq is their obsession with 2003. It’s as if all they’d be able to talk of after Normandy in 1944 was the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

He's equally hard on the other side of the political spectrum:

The most appalling thing about the Republicans’ and alternative media allies approach to Iraq is their obsession with a future reshaped Middle East, or playing defense against the latest Democrat produced slanted negativism. It’s as if all they’d be able to talk of after Normandy was the design of the United Nations, or who the guests should be at victory parades.

The US has accomplished quite a lot more in Iraq than the media tells the public. A blatantly slanted media, the continued attacks from the left and the inept response from the right have all combined to give a horribly distorted picture of the US to the rest of the world. Our enemies are emboldened seeing America in internal disarray.
