File under: Iraqi Insurgency

#1 I suspect Dean and faculty of Yale University may secretly be considering a revocation of that "D" in Political Science and replacing it with a full blown "F" !!!!

#2 A 'success vision' of Iraq would look a lot like Israel - an island of prosperity and advancement surrounded by backward, jealous neighbors intent on destroying it. Saying so is not politically wise.

#4 "...where America has new allies in the cause of freedom."

He's gotta stop with this "freedom" thing. It's of no interest to the Muslim World. Better left unsaid.

#7 well there are no quotes in the first para....?

President George W. Bush held up Israel as a model for defining success in Iraq, saying Thursday that the goal of the US mission in the war-ravaged Arab nation is not eliminating attacks but enabling a democracy that can function despite continuing violence.

Here's the one with quotes..

There, Bush said, "Terrorists have taken innocent human life for years in suicide attacks. The difference is that Israel is a functioning democracy and it's not prevented from carrying out its responsibilities. And that's a good indicator of success that we're looking for in Iraq."

I guess what the Commander in Chief meant was that Iraq could live with a certain amt of violence...duh... so could any nation but what citizenry would want to.

btw Mr. President we don't have a Democracy here in America, We have a Federal Constitutional Republic.

I have a sad-bad feeling that President Bush never had a love of history, Our history in particular or the history of Governments or the history of Civilizations, Geography etc..
