January 30 2005 Instapundit:

Reader Peter Ingemi, meanwhile, offers a prediction:

I’m remembering the coy saying about the French resistance. “If everyone who claimed to be in the resistance really had been, there would have been nobody left to collaborate.”

I make the following prediction: In 20 or 25 years (it might not even take that long) all the people who where saying that the war was wrong and Iraq was wrong will talk about how America brought democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan and how they were a part of it due to their protests and desire for democracy and the end of tyranny. (of course they will not mention that the tyranny that they meant was us.) If the same people who write the current history books write them again be sure that this will happen.

Heh. Yeah, just like everybody pulled together during the Cold War.

And the prophesy is fulfilled

Oops Sorry wrong prophesy, lets try again:

Kind of hard to figure out which clip is a better example of Fiction isn’t it?

Meet the Press this week should be interesting.

I wasn’t going to talk about Murtha’s death under the, If you can’t say anything nice rule.

However they are lionizing his opposition to the war on Morning Joe this morning. Joe is now alluding to not perfect: (doesn’t mention Haditha and graft and Abscam by name) only says it in passing.

Just “made some mistakes” Joe, I suggest you take a look at Instapundit’s archive on John Murtha.

Bottom line, lets forget the graft, the empty airport and even Haditha, if we followed John Murtha’s advice we would have lost in Iraq instead of won.

End of story.

It’s another Haditha…

…in the sense that there is apparently no there there:

“The explanations offered by prosecutors and investigators in an attempt to justify their actions and persuade the court that they did not use the defendants’ compelled testimony were all too often contradictory, unbelievable and lacking in credibility,” Urbina wrote.

The confederate yankee has this to say:

I don’t think that this dismissal means that these contractors were necessarily innocent, but the political focus of the investigation means we long ago lost any chance there was of ever determining if there was any justification for the guards to open and then maintain their fire.

He suggests there might have been some there there at one time. Glenn has the best explanation as to why this is happening now:

WELL, THE ELECTION’S OVER NOW

That’s pretty much it, end it after the election was done but before the next one can start.
