Obama just can't get it right on Iraq
Great opinion piece here by Peter Wehner in which he deconstructs Obama's July 14 N.Y. Times Op-Ed piece on Iraq along with his other wrong-headed views on the war. Wehner also makes a powerful case that justifies the invasion of Iraq in this paragraph:
"In fact, it is far from clear that Iraq will be judged a strategic blunder at all, let alone the “greatest strategic blunder in the recent history of American foreign policy.” It is now plausible to argue that the Iraq war will lead to a defeat of historic proportions for al Qaeda. It has already triggered a massive Sunni Muslim uprising against al Qaeda, a repudiation of violent jihadism from some of its original architects, and a significant shift within the Muslim world against the brutal tactics of jihadists. Iraq is also, right now, the only authentic democracy in the Arab world. And Saddam Hussein, the most aggressive and destabilizing force in the Middle East for the last several decades, is dead, and his genocidal regime is now but an awful, infamous memory."
