Freedom is on the March!

I'm sick and tired of hearing these assholes on the right prematurely declare victory. News from Baghdad:

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Insurgents have killed 21 Iraqis and two U.S. soldiers in recent assaults, showing there has been no respite in the fight against U.S.-led forces and their allies since Sunday's election.

I just think it's a bit early to start talking about how this is a victory for the Bush administration. It seems to me the prudent thing to do would be to wait and see if there's any perceptible change.

And let's not forget:

The situation in Afghanistan is not much better, the impoverished nation continues to be torn apart by warlords competing for power and a slice of the drug trade.
