Profound Truth from the Trib

Magnificent Chicago Tribune Editorial on Fallujah and what it means.

Such is the efficiency of America's fighting men and women that there are few mournful predictions that U.S. military offensives will become bogged down in quagmires, as there were before the rapid conquest of Afghanistan or the even faster seizure of Baghdad. Precisely 10 days after the headline "U.S. pushes into Fallujah" topped the front page of this newspaper, Thursday's Tribune carried a front-page story about engineers of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force already launching infrastructure repairs. For Fallujah, the leap from "stronghold of Sunni resistance" to "conquered turf primed for reconstruction" was impressively brief.

We will NEVER hear such things from the NYTimes or LATimes as long as Bush is president. If there was a Dem in the White House, it's all we would get.
