Quit moving the goalline...
AP STORY: Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, who lost the November presidential election against Republican President George W. Bush, described the Iraqi elections as "significant" and "important" but said they should not be "overhyped."
"It is significant that there is a vote in Iraq," Kerry said in an interview with NBC television's Meet the Press. "But ... no one in the United States should try to overhype this election.
"This election is a sort of demarcation point, and what really counts now is the effort to have a legitimate political reconciliation," Kerry said. "And it's going to take a massive diplomatic effort and a much more significant outreach to the international community than this administration has been willing to engage in.
"Absent that, we will not be successful in Iraq," he said.

First, the democrat leaders say Iraq will never be liberated. Then, when American soldiers gave their lives to see Iraq as a free nation, the democrats said a democratic vote will never happen. Then when they voted this week, they say that it's not that big of a deal; and to wait and see if it is really that legitimate.
The democrats continue to move the goalline of success to make a Republican president look like he' s not doing a good job.
My hat's off to our soldiers and national leadership. We're moving in the right direction.
