Germany’s Speigel Magazine Does About-Face On Iraq
From David’s Medienkritik:
After years of calling Iraq a disaster, debacle and quagmire, SPIEGEL ONLINE has decided to declare the following:
“The US military is more successful in Iraq than the world wants to believe.”
Ain’t that the truth.
This turn-about is particularly interesting given that Der Spiegel ran this magazine cover less than a year ago:
That reads: Power and Lies: George W. Bush and the Lost War in Iraq
Of course, a flip-flop from a major European media outlet is hardly enough reason to declare victory in Iraq, but it (plus all the other good news we’ve had out of Iraq recently) should be enough to nip all those “Iraq is lost” or “Iraq is hopeless” claims the Democrats have been making since, well, pretty much the day we invaded.
There is progress in Iraq. We can win if only we maintain resolve. Those who deny this deny reality.
