Saddam Hussein trying a page from the Texas Democrats who fled to New Mexico to stop the process. It didn't work for them then and it isn't going to work for Saddam and Ramsey Clark now.
Now you see him. . .
 Now you don't.

Mark Steyn, Chicago Sun-Times columnist, cautions Democrats. Watch carefully as the Iraqi people speak again at the ballot box. The ballot box is pretty much the de facto evidence that this war is moving forward, not backward, and not a quagmire. But when the old media ignores the good news in favor of towing the political line(s) of the opposition party, you need to look elsewhere for any news that does not conform to Jack Murtha's scenario.
Mark challenges the Democrats' paradigm in this article. Dems determined to ignore progress in Iraq.
Sen. Joe Lieberman, Democrat of Connecticut, came out with a big statement on Iraq last week. Did you hear about it? Probably not. Everyone was still raving about his Democrat colleague, Rep. Jack Murtha, whose carefully nuanced position on Iraq is: We're all doomed unless we pull out by next Tuesday! (I quote from memory.)

"Oh, there's pessimists, you know, and politicians who try to score points. but our strategy is one that will lead us to victory," Bush said when asked about Dean's remarks. That is a slam, according to Reuters? For what Dean said, Bush's response was way too polite and diplomatic. A slam would have been more like, 'he thinks he's patriotic, I don't think so. He thinks he supports the troops, I don't think so. Given his way, he thinks our country would be more secure, I don't think so. Saddam is on his side.' That would be a slam.
Bush slams Dean's comments on Iraq (Reuters).
 Reuters - President George W. Bush criticized Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean on Tuesday for saying it is wrong to think the United States will win in Iraq, calling him a pessimist trying to score political points.
