What Iraq Victory?
By Daniel Strauss - Nov 21st, 2008 at 2:33 pmWhat an odd day to celebrate victory in Iraq as Dana Perino is doing. She said “that the conditions are such now that we are able to celebrate the victory that we’ve had so far.” As it happens, Iraqis mounted a massive peaceful protest today against a possible deal for American forces to remain in Iraq for three years:
Preachers and political leaders supporting Mr. Sadr, along with some Sunni opponents of the pact, erected their podium in the same colonnaded traffic circle. The Iraqi crowd applauded the downfall of Mr. Hussein’s regime, and also placed a black hood over the effigy of President Bush. They put a whip in the effigy’s right hand and, in its left, a briefcase on which were written the words “the security agreement is shame and dishonor.”
Doesn’t sound like a banner day for American involvement in Iraq to me.
