Al-Qaeda Crippled In Iraq...UPDATED and Bumped
Original post here...Update below
Many moons ago, I had asked the question to thin air..."How long can the terrorists hang in there?"
Apparently, their time as a formidable foe on the battlefields of Iraq are at an end and they know it. Why else is there a call to get some of their operatives inside the United States?
With the reports flowing in from the front lines of Iraq and the Leftinistra grasping at straws with their Straw Man themes, is it any wonder that the American People are beginning to see through the lies of the political hacks?
Even the far left moonbats of the fruit loop brigades have begun turning on their moppets.
Protein Wisdom has a great listing of the good news flowing in from the battlefields of Iraq. Go take a look...a long hard look. Don't breeze through the data. Read every word posted. It is something the Lame Stream cannot bring themselves to do. They pick and choose their material to suit their socialist agenda.
The Washington Compost even has a story entitled, Al-Qaeda In Iraq Reported Crippled. That is the teaser. The sub-title reads, Many Officials, However, Warn Of Its Resilience. How quaint and how typical is that?
The story is replete with the usual "undisclosed this and that" and the usual "anonymous and mysterious valuable sources". Whenever they don't quote an actual person, I find it highly suspect. Their reputation as a viable reporting agency is highly questionable as even General Sanchez pointed out to them in a stinging rebuke just a few days ago. Naturally, they ignored that part of the speech.
Needless to say, them KNOWING that we are winning and that AQI is on the run and desperate, they play it down with the usual biased slants. Click the link provided to read the entire post. I have included a small portion of the WaPo article.
[...]The bottom line is this. We are winning this battle in Iraq...finally and to say otherwise shows an ignorance second to none.The deployment of more U.S. and Iraqi forces into AQI strongholds in Anbar province and the Baghdad area, as well as the recruitment of Sunni tribal fighters to combat AQI operatives in those locations, has helped to deprive the militants of a secure base of operations, U.S. military officials said. "They are less and less coordinated, more and more fragmented," Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, the second-ranking U.S. commander in Iraq, said recently. Describing frayed support structures and supply lines, Odierno estimated that the group's capabilities have been "degraded" by 60 to 70 percent since the beginning of the year.

Also, in the WaPo, there is another article which is rather sad. One of their reporters was KIA in the line of duty for the WaPo. He is given the usual accolades with the usual accompaniment of a slight trash the US which, is really not unusual or unexpected. To the reporter's family, Snooper sends his condolences to a brave soul in his homeland.
Catch the wave.
