The almost comically eloquent writer Victor Davis Hanson fires another diamond bullet to the brain of the Chris Matthewses of the world with this tremendous essay on Iraq. In it, he points out (among other things) that much of the money, materiel and personnel committed to Iraq for the immediate future are simply being moved from one place (Saudi Arabia and other loathsome Middle Eastern kleptocracies) to another; that we’ve lost fewer troops in Afghanistan and Iraq combined than died in the Beruit Marine barracks terrorist attack back in the 80s; and that despite repeated statements to the contrary by this very administration, there still hasn’t been another major terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11. In other words, we’re doing something right. Please go and read this fantastic piece. (Link courtesy of LGF.)
