Liberals need to be reminded of the anti-war, anti-Bush, anti-Troop stances they've espoused over the past seven years. Because, now, the surge is working, we are becoming successful in Iraq, and the left opposition is strangely...quiet. You would think that they might come forward to own their prior stances, to 'fess up to their wrongness. I haven't seen much of that. Democrats want to forget, and be forgiven, for so loudly decrying the efforts so many American soldiers have put forth, and died for.

We are winning in Iraq.

From Anthony J. Diaz, in today's Washington Post...

Hard-Won Progress In Baghdad Since I arrived here last August, I have been struck by four things: the financial commitment we have made to reconstruction; the precipitous decline in violence; the inklings of representative government; and the small yet significant progress in communal relations between the mostly Shiite Iraqi army and the predominantly Sunni residents of this area. One often reads of the chaos plaguing Iraq. Yet the media accounts only infrequently seem to grasp the successes being achieved.

From late-night Senate holdovers to burning the flag and troops in effigy, the left has produced a seven-year constant drumbeat of retreat, lose it, give up, Bushitler BDS. Murtha's Mob. General Betrayus, that hateful, vile rhetoric produced by Move On dot org, George Soros' pet Democommie kennel.

But, now, we are seeing that General Petraeus was correct. As I said last September "We see that the Democrats have put all of their political eggs in the failure-in-Iraq, surrender-at-all-costs basket, and now that it seems that thing are going much better, those Democrats who turned mightily to the left (at the whim of KOS, DU, Soros.com Moveon.org, and all the other nutroots and moonbats who suffer BDS) might actually have to back off of their prior leftist stances."

Now, the chickens will start coming home to roost....staff sergeant Anthony Diaz...

There is still much left to be accomplished in Iraq. But the successes of the men and women serving in this once explosive area of Baghdad cannot be overstated. Sitting here in Adhamiyah, one thing is certain: The surge has worked.

Chickens. I hear chickens.
