The Surge: One Year Later

~Snooper~

Remember the Leftinistra, the armies of the socialist liberal, have in the past brought up Iraq Four Years Later? Remember how the #1 loser in America today, Harry Dingy Reid, among others, said many times that the war was lost? Remember the anti-Americanist groups disguised as peace proponents brought up how the troops need to come home because America was breeding terrorists? Remember how the proponents of the Blame America First cretins and the Hate America Crowds just LOVED the possibility that America would LOSE in Iraq?

Why are they so silent now?

Here we are on the anniversary of The Surge with undeniable positive news and outcome of the War In Iraq and the Leftinistra are deathly silent. Why is that?

Bill Whittle has a very well thought out and presented essay on The Why the Surge worked. We all know the reasons why but the Leftinistra need to reminded of it from time to time.

[...] I think the Surge has had spectacular success not because of the additional troops so much as for the fact that when the media and the Democrats demanded we cut and run...we did not cut and run. We doubled down. When the calls for defeat and dishonor were at their loudest - sad to say a not unwarranted street rep we had made for ourselves - somehow, somehow we simply just hung on and gave them not a retreat but a charge. [...]

Al Anbar will soon be handed over to the IP and the INA in March and not a squeak from the pipsqueaks? I would say that I don't get it but that would be a lie. I would say that I don't understand but, that would be another lie. I wonder what the buzz at memeorandum will be?

From Dr Sanity:

[...] The courageous men and women of our military services know what is worth fighting for; Forty Second Boyd knew what was worth fighting for; and, my audacious hope is that the American people will once again remember what is worth fighting for; and break out of the self-induced mental fog many have slipped into to avoid an unpleasant and frightening reality bearing down on them.

Because, it really matters.

Yes...it does truly matter. This is why "they" are so silent...

They have been on the wrong side of this issue for political gain! And, what have they gained?

They disgust me and they should disgust you as well. They have gained America's contempt.

On this anniversary of the Surge, American forces are pounding what there is left of AQ in Iraq in the hopes of diverting a possible Al Qaeda "Tet" Offensive. AQ has no other choice than to perform a last-ditch effort to renew the American Media's attention.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RELEASE No. 20080110-05

Air strikes hit more than 40 targets in Arab Jabour
Multi-National Division - Center

FORWARD OPERATING BASE KALSU, Iraq - More than 40 targets were hit Jan. 10 after precision air strikes destroyed reported al-Qaeda safe havens in Arab Jabour. Thirty-eight bombs were dropped within the first 10 minutes, with a total tonnage of 40,000 pounds.

The precision air strikes supported Operation Phantom Phoenix, the overarching operation that includes Operation Marne Thunderbolt.

A joint operation between the Air Force and Soldiers of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division required extensive planning to prevent collateral damage and to deny the use of the area for attacks into Baghdad and against Coalition Forces.

Two B-1 Bombers and four F-16 fighter jets, directed bombs at three large target areas. Each bomber made two passes and the F-16s followed to complete the set. Coordination between the Army and Air Force was essential in making the operation a success.

Operation Marne Thunderbolt is an ongoing operation aimed at flushing out remaining al-Qaeda extremists operating in the southern Arab Jabour area, and to create conditions for improved security.

Soldiers from 2nd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division will join Iraqi Security Forces and Concerned Local Citizens to continue these offensive operations to keep pressure on the enemy.

Operation Phantom Phoenix...eat that you terrorist pig sucking scum bastards! In loving memory of my brother...Kill all VC!!

My Pet Jawa is a must go see. Go see Breitbart while you are at it. And, never ever forget to stop by Pat Dollard's for his take on everything in Iraq and Afghanistan.
