Charles Krauthammer celebrates the almost overlooked alliance between the US and Iraq which highlights just how close to victory we are in Iraq. This is a phenomenal achievement won by the US military overcoming the most powerful enemy to American success in history - radical liberals.

Obama plans to suck money and jobs out of the private sector for huge public works projects in the largest infrastructure programs since the '50s. Repairing degrading infrastructure should be done, but it should be done with the money we already make available for that purpose. And local governments be building local projects. But what Obama is proposing sounds like make-work, not wealth creation. This reminds of FDR having people dig holes one day and other people fill them in the next. That kind of government work mired the US deeper and longer in depression, and Obama's repeat of history will be just as damaging. I don't understand why anybody would support repeating the proven mistakes of the past.
