Check out the first part of today's Best of the Web on OpinionJournal.com.
Really really good reading and lots of informative links.
Snippet:
Stop a moment and actually listen to the din of defeatism and doomsaying, and you'll find that it's actually great comedy. It was early last Thursday morning that America fired the first shot in the liberation of Iraq, which means the conflict is now in its eighth day. Eight days--that's 192 hours, 11,520 minutes, nearly 700,000 seconds! What's taking so long?
Still not convinced? Consider the greatest military collapse of modern times, the infamous French fold at the start of World War II. Germany invaded France on May 10, 1940, didn't get to Paris until June 14, and didn't get a French surrender until June 22.
Even the French--the French!--were able to hold out for 44 days. If Saddam prolongs the fighting for another 5 weeks, all he will be doing is rising to the level of military competence set by France.
