I love the way the right says we "WON" something in Iraq. I don't know how many times I have heard them say, "We liberated Iraq and it's now a democracy".
When I point out, "No, Iraq is a hard right Islamic Theocracy", they laugh and point and say, "How idiotic". Then, when I quote the Iraqi Constitution:
Article 2:
First: Islam is the official religion of the State and it is a fundamental source of legislation:
A. No law that contradicts the established provisions of Islam may be established.

They come back with, "Oh, that's the OLD constitution".
Then I point out, "No, Iraq was a secular country".
Then they say, "But Saddam was a bad man".
Then I say, "Yea, we always knew that, but now it's worse".
Then they say, "No, Iraq is now free".
Then I point out that, "Women are now in burkas and are pretty much slaves".
Then they say, "So were women under Saddam".
Then I say, "No, women under Saddam were able to attend school, divorce, wear western clothes, have a job and go out alone".
Then they say, "But Democrats didn't like Saddam either".
Then I say, "Yes, but they didn't invade Iraq. In fact, Bush's FATHER didn't invade Iraq".
That's where those on the right lose it. When their delusions are threatened, they start calling you names.
Remember, even George Bush thought the Iraqi's were "ungrateful". After all he did for them. And they didn't even ask for his help.
And the right wing still believes we "Won something".
