a total iraqi failure..

i was reading the headlines a moment ago and it sure sounds like this whole iraqi voting thing is going to be a waste of time.. no one over there wants elections, no one feels safe.. there are too many factions that can't get along for this to work.. too many bombings and shootings and trips to paradise for would be allahphytes.. then i ran across this nugget..
http://washingtontimes.com/world/20050119-101413-1954r.htm

now, i don't know about you, but his sure doesn't sound like the iraq i hear and read about every day.. i decided to go back and check the cnnmsnbcabcnewscbsnews.coms of the world and i didn't even find a mention of it. so i went to the newyorktimeslatimeswashingtonpost.coms of the world and found nary a mention of it there either..

to me, this is wonderful progress. i would presume this is newsworthy for americans.. we are afterall funding the rebuilding of iraq and this whole democratic situation.. this sure looks like a positive step forward to me.. why in the world would we not want to report on it..

odd.

it seems to go along with the assessment that LTC Tim Ryan had of the iraq situation.. he's in iraq.. his thoughts are here: LTC Thoughts

who's pulling for who in this darn thing.. seems like we have a bunch of americans who say that in the best interest of americans we want to see more americans dead.. that just doesn't make sense.. of course, all of the blue state bluster doesn't make sense either.. and alas we have our answer.
