Worth Repeating

I wrote this in June but it's worth repeating because I like to gloat occasionally:

Good things come to those who wait....

... and the wait is about over.

What neo-cons don't understand about the vast majority of moderates and liberals in America is that they really don't care to engage in name-calling, back-biting and the rigors of mindless patriotism. They are interested in results.

Most just hang back and let things happen. And it's happening with the war in Iraq. While this is being written before President Bush's speech tonight, the speech doesn't matter. The majority of Americans are sick unto death of the war and where it has been heading for months.

One way or another, we're going to get out of that hell-hole and soon. The American people have said what they thought the timetable ought to be in Iraq and the day after tomorrow is not soon enough to get out as far as most are concerned.

As more troops come home and tell their stories of chaos and disintegrating moral, the polls are going to be even more anti-Bush and anti-war. We are still a nation of reasonable people and the war in Iraq is as unreasonable as the one in Vietnam.

What an absolute mess. The president has no plan and instead of defetaing terrorism in Iraq, it has become a breeding ground for terrorists. Could it be any worse?

But it will soon be over and our good men and women who have served so faithfully will soon be home because good things come to those who wait.
