BUSH WINS

The New York Post has an editorial today entitled:
IRAQ VOTES — BUSH WINS

AKA: Iraq Votes - Bush Wins

Bush won the election? OMG!

What office was he running for there? I wasn't aware he was on the ballot.

Joke aside, the title says it all, what this is really about to them- the President and his agenda. It's a war for the President to regain approval ratings and the good people of Iraq are mere bystanders. Victory for them is only secondarily about the Iraqis and their ability to conquer hundreds of years of ethnic divides and sustain a working democracy; their primary concern about Iraq is our President and his ability to deflect criticism and redeem himself for 2.5 years of mismanagement and deceit. I won't sit here and pretend my top concern is for the people of Iraq, but then I am not the group who invaded their country for my own political interests under the premise of an altruistic quest to give them freedom.

If Iraq's election is a major victory, it is one for the citizens of that country and not American politicians.

Shame on the Post for using this election simply as opportunity to attack the President's critics.
