Iraq - The Iraq Myth

The world media told us that the Iraq war was a disaster and that the leaders who participated in it would face the wrath of the electorate. Doesn't MSM ever get tired of being on the wrong side of history?

The re-election of Tony Blair as Prime Minister of Britain completes the trilogy of western leaders who faced re-election since the war began - Bush, Howard and Blair. Oh, the media are trying to spin Blair's election as a defeat because he won with a reduced majority - but he still won. Only in MSM's alternate reality is a win deemed a defeat. That's why the British press are trumpeting Galloway's win as proof Blair is being punished over Iraq. The media fail to mention his opponent is Jewish and ran in an area that has seen the Muslim population grow since the last election. Make no mistake, the war was an issue for some but as The Australian points out:

Iraq was a vexatious and difficult issue, but the plain truth is 70 per cent of the British electorate voted for parties that strongly supported the war in Iraq.

The media can say what it likes and it can roll out poll after poll to show how unpopular the war is and how unpopular western leaders who support the war are. But in the end the only polls that matter are elections. The voters decided the elections and not the media. Which, is as it should be.

I expect the media to continue with their left wing bias but as they say in baseball, three strikes and you're out.

So, from now on, anytime you see, hear or read that the Iraq war is a disaster, ask, how is it then that the majority of people in America, Britain and Australia returned the leaders of that "disaster" to power? Watch them squirm, turn red, sputter and say, but, but... Try it. It's a blast!
