U.N. Security Council unanimously adopts resolution approving Coalition military presence in Iraq to secure Iraqi sovereignty; Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi expresses "thanks" to Coalition for toppling Saddam Hussein; Jaques Chirac and France grudgingly support resolution; Kennedy continues equating Abu Ghraib abuses with Saddam Hussein's torture and demands prisoner-of-war status under Geneva Convention for terrorists at Guantanamo.·

Today the U.N. unanimously, albeit grudgingly, adopted a resolution approving the Coalition military presence in Iraq to secure Iraqi sovereignty. Last week, the Iraqi Prime Minister, Iyad Allawi, publicly thanked the U.S.-led Coalition for liberating Iraq and giving Iraqis an opportunity to live in freedom from tyranny. [Source]

Sunday's 60th Anniversary commemoration of D-Day underscored the historical fact that tactical mistakes, operational errors and intelligence failures that increase risks and casualties in warfare for a noble goal do not undermine the nobility of the goal or warrant characterization of such sacrifices as having been "in vain." It underscored the moral value and wisdom of the forces of freedom bearing such burdens to overcome tyranny.

Saturday's death of Ronald Reagan served to remind us how viciously the Left attacked and maligned him in the 1980's for rejecting their demands for a unilateral nuclear-freeze, for characterizing the Soviet Union as an "Evil Empire" destined for the dust-bin of history, for supporting the Contras to coerce the Sandinistas to schedule an election in Nicaragua, (which ousted them from power), and for his speech at the Brandenburg Gate in demanding that Michael Gorbachev "tear down" the Berlin Wall. The historical events in the intervening years served to demonstrate that Reagan's vision was far superior to that of the "intelligentsia" who mocked and maligned him.

Those capable of learning from history can readily perceive the obvious parallels between those events and the even more vitriolic attacks on George W. Bush for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Thank goodness such "intelligentsia" was not in charge of Allied forces from D-Day through the Battle of the Bulge en route to victory. Thank goodness they weren't in charge of the White House in the 1980's. Thank goodness they're not in charge of the White House today.

Facts, Pacts and Hacks.

Today, a U.N. resolution
embraced Dubya's plan for solution
to war in Iraq
on sovereignty's track
for liberty's grand evolution.

Since terrorists need it to fail,
with terror, the plan they'll assail,
and surely at times
the critics will chime
in chorus, "the plan is derailed."

However, the vision possessed
by Dubya, like Reagan's, is blessed
with wisdom defined
by liberty's mind:
That freedom itself is noblesse.

Although there'll be setbacks, perforce,
in helping Iraq chart its course,
it's when, 'stead of whether,
that liberty's tether
secures it from tyranny's force.

And meanwhile, today, Teddy Kennedy
again has displayed the obscenity
of specious contentions
Geneva Conventions
give terrorists "pris'ner" identity.

Though Ted when in law school was last,
the cause of his views is more crass--
Despite his obtuseness,
the cause is his ruthless
desire al Jazeera to pass.

To learn how Ted Kennedy's readier
than most to be meaner and pettier
as partisan hack
for vicious attacks,
see PoliSat.Com's Al JaTeddya.*
