Wait while I suspend my disbelief...

What a remarkable surprise, and what a difference it makes when your side owns the White House and congress.  Hillary Clinton now says Iraq is on the right track, and she says it in the wake of its worst violence in more than a year.

'BAGHDAD -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Saturday that this week's deadly suicide bombings in Iraq are a sign that extremists are afraid the Iraqi government is succeeding.

Making her first trip to Iraq as America's top diplomat, Ms. Clinton said the country has made great strides despite the recent violence that killed at least 148 people in Baghdad and outside on Thursday and Friday.

"I think that these suicide bombings .. are unfortunately, in a tragic way, a signal that the rejectionists fear that Iraq is going in the right direction," Ms. Clinton told reporters traveling aboard her plane ahead of her unannounced visit to Baghdad.

"I think in Iraq there will always be political conflicts, there will always be, as in any society, sides drawn between different factions, but I really believe Iraq as a whole is on the right track," she said, citing "overwhelming evidence" of "really impressive" progress.'

Over and over again, Democrats demonstrate an amazing ability jump from one position to its exact opposite without batting an eye.  Are we to suspend our disbelief at her new outlook for Iraq?  In fact, the Democrats own Iraq now, and now that they do I expect we're in for an entertaining balancing act.  How long will Democrats continue to spout nonsense about the rise of democracy in Iraq being the worst foreign policy disaster in American history, while declaring their undying support for its success?

'BAGHDAD -- U.S. SoS Clinton said".. this week's deadly suicide bombings in Iraq are a sign that extremists are afraid the Iraqi government is succeeding.

Yeah, that sort of assessment of ones enemies temporarily worked for radical "gender activists" back in the day. The Emporer is STILL naked, and the SoS STILL shows the same level of comprehension of "Middle Eastern Thinking" as Chamberlain did with Arian "Socialists". How much of "the little peoples blood and treasure" has historically been expended repairing THOSE grand experiments? Tell me again, why did Persia officially change it's name to Iran? Does Pakistan, or Afghanistan, have a national ping pong team? What is the foundation of the CV/resume of the old Wal Mart lawyer/board wonk that was appointed by the gentleman with a history of appointing folk with NOW inconsequential um...histories?
