So far it has been more than two months since
we won the Iraq War by driving Al Qaeda out of the country and reducing
their power to insignificance. Yet there has been no appreciable
effort to let the American public appreciate, much less celebrate, our
magnificent victory.
There are bad consequences of this closed-mouth approach. One bad consequence is that Americans remain in a sour mood, telling pollsters that they don't like the direction of government policy. Americans will be excited, proud, up-beat and positive when they understand the magnitude and importance of our victory. Another bad consequence is the public's continued tolerance for the mainstream media's bad mouthing our triumphant economic movement.
Put both bad consequences together and we get a
steady barrage of Democratic candidates lies, distortions, 
perversions
and dissembling about Iraq and the economy which could result in bad polices of the
sort that America lived with for many years after the Democrats and the
mainstream media told America that we had lost the war in Vietnam.
I need only remind my readers of earlier bad consequences of failing to announce military victory to Americans. Nixon didn't announce the victory in Vietnam in March of 1973 when the Paris Accords were signed and was driven from office in 1974. George Bush Sr. didn't promote the American victory over Saddam in 1991 and lost the presidency the next year, in 1992, because Americans threw-up a weirdo candidate in a third-party (Ross Perot) in the general post-war malaise which got us the hillbilly Clinton family.
