So, you probably didn't ask, how's the election playing in Iraq? Why not ask a soldier:

Saw more than a few online pundits wondering how the troops in Iraq were responding to the election results. 'How are they celebrating in Iraq?'

Glad you asked.

Well, the muck left behind by the past few day's rains has turned to dust, and brooms are the weapon of choice today. How are we marking the occasion? We're sweeping the dust off the ages off the floor of the tent so we can get back to business.

I had to verbally counsel one guy to please stop taunting a Democrat. He wasn't being mean about it but its just not done, get it? Then I talked to the other guy and asked if the guys were bugging him too much. "No" he said "I can handle it. We're all okay with each other."

Good. Good. See, the brotherhood of arms trumps political persuasion.

That said, I echo this question from Jonah Goldberg: "NOW THAT HE'S NOT USING IT... Can John Kerry please tell us what his super-duper special terrific secret plan to fix Iraq was?"

Is that fair? Is that mean? Unless everyone knows (nudge nudge) that there was never a plan?

Gloating? Us? We're not stupid, we're just linking up a damned funny post from someone who's getting shot at who just happens to agree with us.

Yeah, that's the ticket.
