Martial Law and the War In Pakistan

From Snooper, some general observations. Well, perhaps a few in-depth ones as well.

We brought to our reader's attention of the [GASP!] bias in the media. Now, we learn of the Petraeus Curve? Alice Miles of the Times of London has a piece wherein she claims, "The Petraeus Curve - Serious success in Iraq is not being [recognized] as it should be."

Gee. I wonder what the first clue was/is? Nothing like being BEHIND the conservative Blogosphere in this regard or, any other as far as that is concerned, eh?

Is no news good news or bad news? In Iraq, it seems good news is deemed no news. There has been striking success in the past few months in the attempt to improve security, defeat al-Qaeda sympathisers and create the political conditions in which a settlement between the Shia and the Sunni communities can be reached. This has not been an accident but the consequence of a strategy overseen by General David Petraeus in the past several months. While summarised by the single word "surge" his efforts have not just been about putting more troops on the ground but also employing them in a more sophisticated manner. This drive has effectively broken whatever alliances might have been struck in the past by terrorist factions and aggrieved Sunnis. Cities such as Fallujah, once notorious centres of slaughter, have been transformed in a remarkable time. [...]

Ja. Go figure. It just doesn't mesh with anti-Americanist "theology", does it? It seems that the more successes there are in the GWOT, the more the Leftinistra and their moppet anti-Americanists face the reality that [GASP!] Bush was Right!

We have Captain Ed letting us all know that there is a state of emergency in Pakistan now that Al Q'aida has given up the fight in Iraq (read that as Lost The War In Iraq...no thanks to ReidCo). Could it be that thousands of people returning to Baghdad (Breitbart) and the Parade in Ramadi has had a deafening after-shock throughout the Jihadistan Lands?

The New York Slimes, the Washington Compost, and The Guardian all have their own take on this but the question(s) remain...has the War On The West, The Jihad, shifted to Pakistan? And, if so, is it too late for Pakistan? From my (Snooper) perspective, having been "in the know" at one time, I stated many times that we needed to be IN Pakistan and be very active in annihilating the enemy as it regrouped there, under the protections of the ill-fated and lethality of Political Correctness. "We" already knew that a large contingent of AQ and Taliban fled to the hills of Pakistan when "we" removed the Taliban Regime in Afghanistan.

With the demise of AQI and AQA, AQP should be the next Mission Accomplished.
