"YOU'VE GOT TO BREAK A FEW EGGS..."

Ok, let’s take a time out here. Let’s step back out of the minutia and see the big picture.

I, of course, speak of Iraq.

The prison abuse scandal has given the liberals just what they want concerning the war. It has given the Bush haters a stick to beat the President up with. Not that he committed these crimes, not that he condoned it, not that he had anything to do with it at all.

But it gives the liberals a reason to cry about being in Iraq. It gives them another reason besides the “no weapons-of-mass-destruction” to repeat over and over again, hoping to gain some traction somewhere.

But, I have a question for them. Is Iraq better off without the Saddam regime? Are human rights better now for the people in Iraq than they were before the war, including in the prisons? Will the future be better or worse for the average Iraqi? The answers to these questions is self-evident. Iraq is a better place now than it was before. The human rights situation is infinitely better then under Saddam, even in the prisons. On classic liberal grounds of helping the oppressed of the world, the war in Iraq can only be labeled a success.

But the liberals don’t care. It was never important to them if the Iraqi’s are better off, all they want is to bash Bush. So, if Bush is for the war, they’re against it.

So that’s why they love these pictures. So they can be against the war and more importantly, be against Bush. But, they don’t care about the prisoners. They don’t care if soldiers are now at greater risk because of a bunch of under trained guards. They only care about hating Bush.

No matter who gets hurt.
