It's hard to miss the point

What the Democrats and the MSM try so hard to tell everyone is true in spades of Nancy Pelosi: when it comes to Iraq, she just doesn't get it.

While I would not use the unkind adjectives the author of the article invokes toward the woman who- in President Bush's phrase- is already "measuring the drapes" in the Speaker's office, there can be little doubt that her take- which seems to be rather her party's standard line on Iraq-is totally without contact with reality.

Iraq would not become the Garden of Eden if the United States simply left. It would become far more of an abattoir than it already is.

And that, in a nutshell, is nothing more or less than what we're fighting to prevent.

Earth to Nancy! Come in!

Confession: I had to look up abattoir.

Actually this is news to me, so I guess I don't get it either. I didn't know the reason for fighting was to prevent Iraq from becoming an abattoir. I thought the reasons for fighting had something vaugely to do with the security of the United States against terrorists.
Well, sure. But it's also the morally responsible thing to do not to cut out and leave our mess behind. To quote Colin Powell, "If you break it, you own it."
