Gee it has had that effect, and will have it even more so in the future.
Also, can you say Lybia and no nukes.  Can you say Lybia spilled the beans
on the North Korea, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Libia nuclear weapons deals.  Can
you say all this happened because of the leadership of our President taking
us into Iraq.  President Bush is the new Teddy Roosevelt, protecting
American interests wherever they might be.

Wrong.  He's engaged in the same plan he's always had.  Turn things over to
the Iraqis.  It was the DEMOCRAPS that desperately wanted a delay in the
turnover.  It was the democraps who kept talking about turning the Iraq
government over to  whom?  Always implying with the questions, "who
are we going to turn the government over to" that making the turnover 
woudl be bad.  It was Bush who confidently knew that things would fall into
place and insisted steadfastly we are going to make the turnover on time. 
He did, its working, and had we followed Kerry's plan we would still be
trying to nuance an agreement on whom to turn over power to, and things in
Iraq would be considerably worse.

As it is now, we are WINNING, IRAQ is WINNING, things are getting better
every single day.  Get used to it.  Bush was the best thinker and planner
again.
