 <title>Good News in Iraq and Europe</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/good-news-iraq-and-europe</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Ill-informed Democrats like Barack&#039;s&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://backyardconservative.blogspot.com/2008/06/step-up-barack-sweetie.html&quot;&gt;other Veep vetter&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worldnetdaily.com/?pageId=67094&quot;&gt;Eric Holder&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
may believe Europe will love us with Barack, but he must have missed&lt;br /&gt;
the last few elections over there which brought center-right leaders&lt;br /&gt;
(as best you can expect in socialist Europe) to power--Germany&#039;s Angela&lt;br /&gt;
Merkel, France&#039;s Nicholas Sarkozy, and the irrepressible Silvio&lt;br /&gt;
Berlusconi in Italy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Funny how it concentrates the mind when&lt;br /&gt;
Europe has to face the fact that they may be on their own for their&lt;br /&gt;
defense with an Obama presidency. Now that &lt;a href=&quot;http://backyardconservative.blogspot.com/2008/05/pollyanna-foreign-policy.html&quot;&gt;Iranian&lt;/a&gt; missiles &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nysun.com/foreign/new-iran-missiles-can-hit-europe/31800/&quot;&gt;can reach Europe&lt;/a&gt;. Now that we find they may have&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article4144317.ece&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;nuclear-tipped&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;capability already. So these leaders have &lt;a href=&quot;http://backyardconservative.blogspot.com/2008/04/bush-win-on-nato-shield.html&quot;&gt;backed us&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601085&amp;amp;sid=aOX4Nj4QV2iA&amp;amp;refer=europe&quot;&gt;NATO&lt;/a&gt; vis a vis Iran. Even England&#039;s Gordon Brown, chastened by his recent &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uncorrelated.com/2008/05/doom_and_gloom_for_the_left_in.html&quot;&gt;stunning election losses&lt;/a&gt;, has promised us &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article4152521.ece&quot;&gt;more British troops in Afghanistan&lt;/a&gt; and stronger sanctions on Iran.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-btkWTTFhQ&amp;amp;eurl=http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;We are winning in Iraq&lt;/a&gt;, no thanks to Barack Obama and the surrender our safety at any price Democrats.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;UPDATE: From an OpEd in the leftist Guardian, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/jun/17/georgebush.terrorism&quot;&gt;Oliver Kamm&lt;/a&gt;, &amp;quot;Bush made the world a safer place&amp;quot;
