Snow of all things counters global warming and shows Iraqi progress

It is not often that one article not only refutes global warming, but also shows the dramatic success of The Surge in Iraq.

"It is the first time we've seen snow in Baghdad," said 60-year-old Hassan Zahar. "We've seen sleet before, but never snow. I looked at the faces of all the people, they were astonished," he said.

I am going to do what most global warming alarmist do and use one example as proof of an entire theory while disregarding factual evidence which does not support my case. If it has never snowed in Iraq, yet today it snowed in Iraq, then we must be experiencing Global Cooling. In addition, because the U.S. is to blame for everything and U.S. forces are in Iraq, I am jumping to the conclusion that Global Cooling is man-made.

Ok, I am sorry, but I could not resist. It is interesting to see how Iraqis are reacting to snow.

"It's a sign of hope. We hope Iraqis will purify their hearts and politicians will work for the prosperity of all Iraqis."

Not only have Iraqis seen snow for the first time, but they felt it was an "omen of peace" for Iraq. They are seeing peace and prosperity given to them by President Bush and the American military who put them on the road to freedom and democracy.
