So Far So Good

Wow. Things seem to be going well: We're sufficiently unsure whether or not Hussein is still alive that we've held back on the shock and awe; nobody appears to be commanding Iraqi forces, which dramatically drops the chances that they'll deploy NBC; and the Iraqis seem glad to see us, if a bit wary.

Now, as I pointed out a while back, Iraq isn't an end unto itself. Iraq is, however, a politically expedient starting point to a whole other end: the destruction of Islamofascism as a political force.

Which is why this doesn't particularly surprise me in the least.
