Another Hanson.

I realize the last post was Hanson, but this has to be some sort of record for the most ponies ever written in a single paragraph.

So the real irony is that should Petraeus stabilize Iraq, if Korea really has given up its weapons, if the world comes together on Iranian proliferation, Afghanistan gets quieter, and either bin Laden or Zawahiri gets captured—while the economy stays strong and an immigration fence is built, then mirabile dictu Bush will leave office in a good position to be praised in 10 years for preventing another 9/11, removing Saddam and the Taliban, decimating al Qaeda, and stopping nonproliferation.

Gee, that's all Bush has to do? Turn two losing wars around, make friends with Lil' Kim and Iran, and build a 2,100 mile fence while decimating a resurgent al Qaeda -- all in 18 months?

What are the odds of all that happening?

I told all that to some prominent Republicans—and was laughed at for it.

Not even hardcore Republicans listen to VDH's silly bullshit these days.
