So, the drawdown comes soon, yet libs don't start crowing?

Is it because they are waiting for that to fail too?

News today amongst all of the major players that Rumsfeld is planning troop drawdowns in Iraq in the new year -- you know, the kind of news that some players have been demanding for the last, oh, almost an eternity. While I am glad to read the news, and think that it means that the situation in Iraq is continuing to improve, I'm wondering why we aren't seeing some certain characters around here posting new articles that say something along the lines of "It's about time", or similar ones that would be evidence of crowing that the master of all that is evil -- George W. Bush -- and his other neocon buddies are finally doing the right thing.

Why is it that once the left gets what they want they can't be happy or show any apparent emotion? They have cried for hard and fast numbers and plans for a drawdown for a while now, and here it's coming to pass and they sit on their hands?!? Is it because this is yet another sign that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice and all of the gang knew what they were doing, and proceeding to follow a clear plan -- get the job done, get it done right, and then bring our troops home. That has always been the message from President Bush. It's the message he's been hammering home on over the last few weeks, and it's the message that is apparently resonating with the U.S. citizenry as President Bush's approval ratings have been on the rise lately.

I'm sure more chicken little articles are coming. More demands for hard and fast numbers, hard deadlines, and all of the other intelligence that might help our enemies will continue to flow, but apparently having the Congress away for the holiday break is leading to more good news, rather than bad, coming through in the media.

Perhaps the same holiday break is providing us all a break from the robotic clueless old liberal as well. Whatever the case may be, I will certainly not look such gift horses in the mouth.

Actually, since this was in the stated plans all along, Rush Limbaugh opined today that the left, after Christmas of course, is going to claim credit for it!  And it is so devious, I have to agree with him on this!

See?  Murtha and Pelosi made us withdraw troops!  Screams the Washington Pest and the NY trips.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Large demonstrations broke out across the country Friday to denounce parliamentary elections that protesters called rigged in favor of the main religious Shiite coalition.

In Baghdad, unknown assailants kidnapped a Sudanese diplomat and five other men as they left prayers at a mosque, a spokesman for Sudan's Foreign Ministry said. An Iraqi Foreign Ministry official said he had not heard of the abduction.

As many as 20,000 people demonstrated after noon prayers in southern Baghdad Friday, many carrying banners decrying last week's elections. Many Iraqis outside the religious Shiite coalition allege that the elections were unfair to smaller Sunni Arab and secular Shiite groups.

"We refuse the cheating and forgery in the elections," one banner read.

Sheik Mahmoud al-Sumaidaei of the Association of Muslim Scholars, a major Sunni clerical group, told followers during Friday prayers at Baghdad's Umm al-Qura mosque that they were "living a conspiracy built on lies and forgery."
