Iran Beats Bush in Iraqi Elections

It is rather pathetic to see the Buckley spinouts trying to Swift Boat John Murtha:

but our war hero Congressman from Pennsylvania has got it right -- Iran has beaten Bush in the Iraqi elections. The best laid plans of the neocons to win control of the Middle East are going down in flames as the majority votes for the Shias are being counted -- oh so slowly as the truth begins to dawn that the U.S. has been voted out of there and the Iranians invited in. We are in effect watching a new balance of Middle East power being established that will drive out the U.S. and presumably bring in Russia, China, whomever is not exactly our friends in the pursuit of oil and other energy resources there. How long, one wonders, will it take the truth to get through to the American public. We have no chance of winning -- we have already been duly defeated by 'democracy' in Iraq -- majority rule that is, which, of course, does not guarantee in itself protections of minorities nor peaceful uses of nuclear power.

And so it goes when armchair autocrats try to run the world. Time to close down Guantanamo and Abu Graib. And don't expect those newly trained Iraqi troops to do our bidding.
