Conservatives haven't been right about Iraq yet in ANY significant fashion, I think everyone would agree. No WMDs, nukes, popular democracy, insurgency isn't in it's last throes, "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" was nonsense, we weren't greeted as liberators, etc.

And according the Conservatives, it ALL went according to plan, until we find ourselves here. Stay the course, etc. What the hell kind of plan that is I don't know, but it wasn't a very good one.

And there's much more of an indication the surge won't work, either, in the middle-term. The insurgents will melt away in the face of temporarily superior firepower and be back the minute the US forces backs are turned.

So, let's just bookmark this thread, and see if for once Conservatives are correct, democracy will prevail, and Iraq will be free of nukes, WMDs, and the various national interests will work together in harmony as an example to the rest of the Middle East of the Bush Doctrine's success.

If youre right, Iraq's oil will be secure for Bush & Co. and America's 4 large permanent military bases in the country, as well as it's huge embassy, will be welcome additions to the countryside as well as economy.

So, let's see.
