For months and months President Bush's political opponents have wrung their hands and expressed their outrage that he has not acknowledged his [many stupid] mistakes in Iraq.
Yesterday, with partner in crime Tony Blair at his side, he did.
Immediately Howard Dean, Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi issued gracious acceptance statements and pledged themselves to work closely with the President to continue to improve the American response to the Iraqi insurgency and the new Iraqi government's capacity to address its nation's problems. Congressman John Murtha also admitted to many serious mistakes in his rabid calls for unilateral withdrawal from Iraq, admitting that what he asked for amounted to unconditional surrender from his own country, just when its forces were making progress.
Meanwhile, the Satanic Weather Service reports an unseasonably cold day in the nether regions.

Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, but the Lord will not necessarily acknowledge the acknowledgment. For most it will be forced and too late. Thus it is with Bush here.
Mistakes might have been made, but no matter what people say, it was not a mistake to go there. Nor is it a mistake to still be there.
When have mistakes not been made in a war? Or in any other human endeavor?
We affirm gentle reader Guy named Courtney and salute him and others who have given themselves to mortal peril in the service of the country!
Thanks for your service. We're free because of it.
