Whoops! And Down The OMemory Hole Goes Iraqi Abstract Reasoning ... Which Has Now Become More Advanced Than The Fascifists For Sure...

The fact that Maliki thinks the war was good for Iraqis doesn’t mean it was
good for America, needless to say, but Obama fans eager to exploit the timetable
bit may want to mull this before baptizing his judgments with Absolute Moral
Authority:


SPIEGEL: Mr. Prime Minister, the war and its consequences have cost more than
100,000 lives and caused great suffering in your country. Saddam Hussein and his
regime are now part of the past. Was all of this worth the price?

Maliki: The casualties have been and continue to be enormous. But anyone who
was familiar with the dictator’s nature and his intentions knows what could have
been in store for us instead of this war. Saddam waged wars against Iran and
Kuwait, and against Iraqis in the north and south of his own country, wars in
which hundreds of thousands died. And he was capable of instigating even more
wars. Yes, the casualties are great, but I see our struggle as an enormous
effort to avoid other such wars in the future.
