Thank the (gods) For The un

~Snooper~

It's official. In a quiet and non publicized event, the Useless and Defunct Nations Disorganization inadvertently declared victory in Iraq for the United States. We didn't need them to do so because everyone already knows our Troops won, even if they cannot bring themselves to admit it. But, UN resolution 1859 said so. So, in keeping with the libtard ways and means that the UN is (god) and is correct in all things, our Troops won and the terrorists lost.

Join us on April 4th in DC as we celebrate our Troops.

VI-Day!

~Snooper~

In honor of the American Armed Forces that have kept this Nation safe, we hereby declare this day, November 22, 2008:

VICTORY IN IRAQ DAY
We salute you in spite of the cowards in DC that fear the Victory you have achieved

The hard-fought battles that go ignored for political gain disgust this DAV yet we remember and acknowledge the sacrifices that you have made

From the bottoms of our hearts we salute you and we thank you all, every one

It was not all for nothing. You know it and we know it.

We remember the Miracles in Sadr City

And the lives you have touched that mattered

This little Iraqi boy sure does seem sore afraid does he not? Be proud of that which you have accomplished my friends and be not ashamed of what you have done

And don't forget to say hello to my cousin that is still over there

Remember those whom you protect, fight for and are willing to die for

WHO'S THE BEST?

The Troop Surge Failed So Soldiers And Marines Perform Exit Strategy

~Snooper~

Much to the chagrin of idiot Leftinistra and their sycophant trolls: Washington Times:

President Bush on Thursday said that the surge of 30,000 troops to Iraq that he initiated early last year is now over and has achieved significant gains, and he held out the prospect of announcing further withdrawals in about a month.

The president said that Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, will soon make recommendations on future troop levels, which he said will include "further reductions in our combat forces as conditions permit." [...]

Put that in your bongs and suck on it.

The article goes into the usual legacy crap but the fact remains, 16 of the 18 Iraqi Benchmarks as set by the FAILED US CONgress led by DEMOCRATS have been met which really and truly rankles the pantyhose of Czarina II, San Fran Moonbat Pelosi, aka Stretch. (Her Thighness Hillary is Czarina I, FYI.) Back in April, only 12 of the 18 had been met. Now, today, the number is 16. Yep. That Surge sure failed. In June, the number was at 15 and libtards whined. I think they were whining because POLITICAL progress was being made and it was because of the MILITARY solution, just like General Petraeus told them that's what was needed. They agreed back then but soon called him General Betray Us. So much for Democrat Party honor and dignity. Power Line has a really good piece up from 10 JUL 08 for all you idiot anti-Americanist socialist twits out there.

One of the last remaining and very difficult Benchmarks was the Sunnis rejoining the Iraqi government. Well, that is also now done bringing the grand total to 16. The last two? Well, even our own CONgress wouldn't agree to any of that so we shall see. I am waiting for Maliki to tell Stretch to piss off on those last 2. It will be kind of interesting to see if any of the libtards can discover what the last 2 are so, here is a link to go find out for yourselves...I already know seeing that I have been writing about it since 2007. That was when the libtards started in earnest to lose the war to get back at the Big Meany Bush for beating them in 2 elections. Idiots. I wonder how many died because they lied?

NY Post: An Iraqi Milestone (in part)

[...] Indeed, the entire nature of the US mission has shifted: No longer are US troops primarily engaged in combat. Instead, their time is spent mostly training Iraqi soldiers - who increasingly are taking the lead role on anti-terror missions - as well as securing the border with Iran and rebuilding the Iraqi economy.

Of course, as Bush warned, "the progress is still reversible."

That can happen if America's commitment falters - and if Capitol Hill Democrats try to take advantage of the progress they for so long refused to accept by forcing a too-hasty retreat. [END]

Nothing would please Czarbama, Stretch and Hairless On The Ass Reid more than losing the war right at the tail end.

Well done me lads and welcome home.

Unsung Heroes: Doing What Most Won't

~Snooper~

There are three key operations in the ITO, three of many, but these most recent, which have brought about the beginning of the end of Al Qaeda in Iraq. Don't get me wrong here...the war is far from "over" but Victory is at hand.

Operation Phantom Phoenix, Operation Marne Thunderbolt, Operation Iron Harvest

These operations have exacted justice on the remaining hard-core pockets of AQI and mopping up exercises, albeit dangerous, is under way. The video of the latest Shock and Awe air strikes can be seen here or here. You can check out the excellent work of our troops at The Long War Journal.

As our own jackals in DC whine, piss and moan about how the Iraqi Political "benchmarks" go undone; as their own benchmarks and earmarks drain the citizenry dry; we find that unbeknownst to them and, rightfully so...God forbid the NYT finds out about it...the Iraqis have been working feverishly behind the scenes, more than likely under the tutelage of those "nasty and mean military people", to undermine the terrorist groups inside Iraq and they have succeeded. (Don't forget to send cards of condolences to the anti-Americanist groups within CONUS up to and including half of our CONgress.)

HEADLINE:

Iraq: We've Penetrated AQI -- But Apparently Not The American Media

Reid: STOP THE WORLD! I WANNA GET OFF! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!! Well, no. He hasn't said that openly but I bet he sure does think it and maybe even whines to his wife...if she can still stand him...and most assuredly to his partner in defeat Nanny Pelosi.

At the same time that the Iraqi National Assembly passed its long-awaited de-Ba'athification reform, the security services have apparently cracked al-Qaeda's organization in the country. Muslim World News, a Muslim news agency in India, reports that the Iraqi Interior Ministry formed a unit recently dedicated to attacking AQI and will shortly take out the entire structure (via AJ Strata):

OH MY!! It was a good thing that the NY Slimes and the Washington Compost didn't know about this ahead of time, eh? They would have tipped off their buddies in AQ!! Instead, Iraqis did the work themselves showing the dumb American idiots in CONgress that can't even do their own damn jobs how to succeed. Well done!

This story can be found here and here.

Iraqi official says Al-Qaeda in Iraq is penetrated, has become an open book Iraq Announces The Defeat Of al-Qaeda Is At Hand, Time To Celebrate

Now we know The Why and the How Did They Know in regards to the recent air strikes. I wonder if that idiot over at StupidMuttDrip feels like the idiot we all know it to be now?

I have often wondered when an AQ Tet Offensive was to come seeing that was their only chance since the Surge has routed them out from just about everywhere. Apparently, their regrouping into these areas may have been the beginnings of that and the Iraqi penetration stemmed that tide and nipped it in the bud. We shall see.

If ops like this keep happening day after day, I think Wizbang may be correct: Iraq may be moot point in campaign after Bush deal... read the story here as well...

Sorry, Barack, You've lost Iraq.

For the complete idiot and dumbest President we have ever had...so say the various anti-Americanist groups around the globe...GWB sure does outfox them at EVERY turn, doesn't he? I wonder if the idiots that get trounced by GWB on a regular basis still feel superior...

The Bush Administration expects to sign a new deal with the Iraqi government this summer which will replace the UN Security Council Resolutions in governing our relationship, and could also take Iraq off the table for the fall elections - as well as for the next Administration. Michael Hirsh reports for Newsweek: [...]

[...] Even on his way out the door, Bush wins again.

OUCH!! That will leave a mark...

As Ed at CQ states:

[...] If the Iraqi government has penetrated AQI, doesn't that mean something for their ability to fight terror and to stand on their own two feet? Isn't a free and stable Iraq the victory we have awaited, and doesn't this suggest that we're coming close to achieving it? Doesn't the joint military operations conducted in Iraq this week tend to confirm this Interior Ministry statement?

The silence is becoming deafening.

There's those damn crickets again...

Catch the buzz here...LOL!!

Massive New Offensive Planned Against Al Qaeda

~Snooper~

With the announcements over the last few days in regards to Al-Qaeda being 75% depleted in Iraq and OBL issuing whining and offensive diatribes in the forms of fruitless warnings, Pat Dollard brings us this:

The Multi-National Force and the Iraqi army and police are preparing to launch a large-scale offensive to crack down on al-Qaeda Organization north of Baghdad in two weeks' time, a high-ranking U.S. army official said on Sunday.

"In 2008, joint U.S.-Iraqi forces would stage large-scale operation to crack down on al-Qaeda organization in Diala river basin, Mosul and along the area the network was operating," Admiral Gregory Smith, the U.S. army communications officer, said in a press conference held in Baghdad.

The official declined to give further information about the size of troops launching the offensive for secrecy reasons. [...]

I wonder what lame announcement the lame-duck OBL will release next.

General Batiste Consorts With The Enemy?

~Snooper~

I suppose the anti-Americanist groups will be howling that sentiment fairly soon enough.

HT to Blue Crab Boulevard

Major General John Batiste, long touted by the anti-war left as a critic of the war in Iraq (he was) has abruptly switched sides, quit the anti-war Vote Vets group and has joined with Pete Hegseth and Vets for Freedom. An op-ed piece in the Washington Post co-authored by the two men calls for an end to the political posturing in Washington. [...]

We shall see. In commenting whether or not the Leftinistra will begin their nasty diatribes towards the "turn-coat" General they once had in their back pockets, BCB writes:

Well, you know they can't do the latter. They are emotionally invested in forcing a defeat. So its off to the attack! (Alternatively, they may simply ignore Batiste and pretend he never was with them before he was against them.)

That's so truly funny, as in odd, it is truly sad.

Way back in Nov of 2006, an eternity in internet circles, wasn't it General Batiste the one that said that a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq was a really bad idea? And, was it not this same General that said otherwise BEFORE the elections of Nov 2006? Just wondering out loud here.

So, we see that victory has a thousand fathers while anti-war Generals switch sides and cross the crazy lines. While all eyes that have a clue are looking towards Iraq, the once confused and beguiled proponents of defeatist rhetoric see the light and add their footnotes to history.

In the op-ed in the Washington Post by Pete Hegseth and General Batiste, we find many words of wisdom; words so alien to the current collection of political hacks in Congress and within the electorate.

Congress has been entangled in a war-funding debate that pits war "supporters" against antiwar "defeatists." With all sides seemingly entrenched, a stalemate looms. The Pentagon, meanwhile, will soon begin stripping money from its training budget to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Our military men and women deserve better than partisan politics; they deserve honest assessments of our nation's performance in fighting the Long War. [...] read the rest

It has been a long time since we have men of stature utter these words and I, as a DAV, hope and pray that our pathetic and self-absorbed politicians will set aside their trivial aspirations for the good of the nation as a whole. I might add, since when does an insignificant few dictate to the rest of the nation? In light of recent data, the "anti-war" crowds are way low on the totem pole of significance.

The op-ed at the WaPo is well worth the read and therein, the two once vehemently opposed philosophies now agree on five points. You will need to read the article to catch the full meanings:

Hegseth and Baptiste point to five fundamental tenets they believe America must rally behind.

First, the United States must be successful in the fight against worldwide Islamic extremism.

Second, whether or not we like it, Iraq is central to that fight.

Third, the counterinsurgency campaign led by Gen. David Petraeus is the correct approach in Iraq.

Fourth, our strategy in fighting the Long War must address Iran.

Fifth, our military capabilities need to match our national strategy.

The about-face by General Batiste has significant impact to the tune of a 10.5 on the seismic counters. First, he has recognized that the Surge is by-God working and that the VoteVets group, financed by Soros, is wrong.

I have been preaching those five points ever since the Democratic Party Leadership and their RINO moppets began their cut and run and redeploy idiocy.

[...] We have seen this ruthless enemy firsthand, and its global ambitions are undeniable. This struggle, the Long War, will probably take decades to prosecute. Failure is not an option. [...]

Did you hear that, America? FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION. Then, there are these words that I know for a fact have been vocalized but the Loony anti-Americanists ignore them at their own peril.

[...] Today's tactical gains in Iraq -- while a necessary pre-condition for political reconciliation -- will crumble without a deliberate and comprehensive strategy. [...]

Exactly so. and, the article ends with the words I also know for a fact I myself and my fellow veterans have plastered every where we could...

[...] Americans must mobilize for the Long War -- bolster our strained military, galvanize industry to supply troops with what they need right now and fund the strategy with long-term solutions. We have no doubt that Americans will rally behind a call to arms.

America's veterans --young and old -- are resolved to support and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. This commitment, and nothing less, should compel us to stand together, in and out of uniform. Would that Congress finds the courage to bury its pride and do the same. [...]

I have my Go Bag(s) ready. Just say the word.

One should wonder if the same people that lauded General Batiste as a leading authority on the War In Iraq will reconsider their stands or will they shrug him off as a Chicken Hawk or something else just as demeaning and disingenuous.

Similar thoughts are here.

War on Terror Update...This Is What We Have Been Expecting...

~Snooper~

Rasmussen Reports...perhaps this is what has Murtha all atwitter? Confidence in War on Terror Near Highest Level of Bush's Second Term

Confidence in the War on Terror increased for the fourth straight month in November and is now near the highest level of President Bush's second term in office.

The latest Rasmussen Reports tracking poll finds that 47% of Americans now say the U.S. and its allies are winning the War on Terror (see crosstabs). That's up from 43% a month ago and reflects is the highest level of confidence measured since December 2005. Over the past 35 months, confidence in the War on Terror has been higher than today only twice, in November and December 2005. [...] Read the rest...

Haven't we been telling folks for a LONG time that this is what the Surge would do? The American People want to win and so do our men and women in uniform. There can be no denying that. At least for an honest person.

On This Day of Thanksgiving...

~Snooper~

Catch the wave at memeorandum...

Let us remember those in Harms Way that are ensuring the security for those of us Stateside. I want to bring to the fore, the good News that has transpired since January 2007. First and foremost, I wish to thank General David Petraeus for his insight, character and tenacity. In a recent article in the WSJ, he spells things out quite clearly and it is all too obvious how oblivious and back-handed the Democratic Party Leadership is. It seems as though they they are setting things up to take credit for actions already in the works. Click the link and read for yourselves. Placing snippets here will not render due justice to the piece. The article is entitled "This Is Not a Light Switch".

As we consider those away that understand what Thanksgiving means in Afghanistan, we can know for a surety that the Good News there is shared by many.

Let us be thankful that the ever vigilant arms of those that know are keeping one step ahead of our enemies.

Let us be forever grateful and thankful that the foreign fighter influx into Iraq has been halved since the Surge that wouldn't or couldn't make a difference has made a major difference and, the flowing gains the Defeatocrats said would never happen has happened...

**Violence in Iraq is down by 50%.
**Civilian casualties in Iraq are down by 60%.
**Baghdad casualties are down by 75%.
**Basra violence is down by 90%.
**Terrorist attacks in Iraq are down by 80%.
**IED attacks down by 55%.
**Average daily attacks down by 42%.
**Foreign insurgent flow into Iraq down by more than 50%
**Suicide bombings down 70% since March

Let us be eternally thankful that our troops are having such a devastating affect on the enemy that the Iraqis in Syria will be transported home by the droves.

As Political Vindication so appropriately states, let us be thankful that our troops are kicking ass.

We should be thankful for men like Jules Crittenden, Michael Yon, and organizations like IBD Editorials. They, among others, bring us unabashed and verifiable data...the Good News that the Lame Stream and Defeatocrats cringe upon when heard.

I am thankful for men like Brig. Gen. James C Boozer, Jr.

We should all be grateful for Good News that the Leftinistra abhor...it exposes their agends(s). We should be thankful that men such on Don Surber keeps the ball rolling on tracking the polls that shows the Leftinistra for what they are...anti-Americanists. Don says the Leftinistra are Galluping into obscurity.

We should be thankful for bloggers such as The Van Der Galiën Gazette that bring us a different slant from a different land. Redstate, Chicago's Ray, Macsmind, Gateway Pundit, Wake Up America, Amy Proctor the Army Wife, all bring us their perspectives with their individualized conclusions, unlike the lock-step "sillitudes" we find amongst the Leftinistra.

The Captain's Quarters brings us reasoned and factual presentations. Our troops leave no stone unturned to root out the snakes from under their rocks. We see that the War Is Lost In Iraq mantra from OBL and our troops are beating down the enemy in Afghanistan., the forgotten war.

We should be thankful that because General Petraeus was right, he has been selected to bring up the new Leadership in the United States Army. We should be thankful that bloggers such as The Astute Bloggers remind everyone of the media bias that exists in regards to Victory In Iraq.

The Jawa Report, Blackfive, Q and O, The Weekly Standard, Hot Air, bring us cutting satire and true grit wit to cause folks to pause and dwell upon that which they believe.

We should be thankful that AQ's networks are being dismantled one Jihadi at a time to the degree that they are running from Iraqi and American Forces.

We should be thankful that neither Al Gore of John Kerry are Presidents. We should be thankful that Iraqi Shiites have condemned Iranian violent influences within Iraq. We should be grateful to heroic actions by our Fighting Men and women.

We should be thankful that all of the recent anti-Americanist Hollyweird movies have "udderly" tanked into the sewer from which they were spawned, especially Cuban's Retarded, I mean Redacted.

Yes, we as a nation have so much to be thankful for yet, the Leftinistra would have us believe that this is a day of mourning. It really must suck to be such a pathetic blog of crap as they.

Snooper Gives Thanks To The Democratic Party Leadership

~Snooper~

As I sit in my Death Chair pondering the years past, I cannot help but chuckle to myself, a disdainful chuckle - a chuckle of utter contempt - a chuckle of disgrace - a sorrowful and an ashamed chuckle - as I read posts from across this land and others in foreign lands; reflecting on the absolute Loser Mentality as expressed by the once great Democratic Party. They may or may not realize what they have become.

They have become the Party of Corruption, the Party of Disgrace, the Party of Charlatans, the Party of Double Standards, the Party of Double Talk, the Party of Ignorance, the Party of Liars...The Party of Shame.

In April of 2007, as the "Surge" in Iraq was beginning to build up, a change of direction that the Democratic Party and a slew of others demanded, President Bush said these words, among others:

[...] "No matter how frustrating the fight in Iraq can be, no matter how much we wish this war was over, the security of our country depends directly on the outcome of Iraq," Bush told an audience at East Grand Rapids High School, vowing to keep troops in Iraq until the job is done. [...]

The Democratic Party Leaders wet their pants:

[...] Reid, D-Nev., fired back at Bush, saying "no one wants us to succeed in Iraq more than Democrats."

"We heard the same old story from the president today because his strategy calls for more of the same. It's a failed strategy for our troops in Iraq, it's a failed strategy for our security at home and it's dangerous that the president refuses to recognize the reality on the ground in Iraq," Reid said from the Senate floor. [...]

See what I mean? The Party of Double Speak. They speak with a forked tongue. If they want us to succeed in Iraq, how would that be possible by removing the troops? As it has turned out like the vast majority of Americans knew it would, the "Surge" has been a remarkable success, faster then anyone had anticipated. Have they apologized for trying to crush the morale of the troops as well as the country as a whole? No, they have not, being the cowards that they are.

Read the rest of the referenced article and compare it to the news we have today, and you tell me who has the insight and who does not. You tell me who has the "can do" attitude and ability and who does not.

As we at A Newt One proclaim and will continue to do so, the Party of Defeat, the Democratic Party Leadership, are so heavily invested in defeat for political gain, they cannot bring themselves to admit that they were indeed wrong. We have been saying this for well over three years now and in the light of the evidence of Victory at hand, they still try to hand that victory to our enemies...at any and all costs.

This is not the 1960s or the 1970s anymore and we will not sit idly by as that generation did and let these defeatist fools destroy this country. The defeatists have become irrelevant, insignificant and bothersome; like pesky gnats on a hot summer day - to be swatted and crushed.

The Republican Senate blog has several entries that I find interesting and some that are flat out FUBAR. However, they do have this one dead nuts on track. They have listed the words of the defeatists along with verifiable links and references...something alien to moonbats...where we can all read to bring to the fore that which they once stated, securing their positions on the wrong side of this issue. The entry is in two sections, like a before and after type of thing...pretty craftily done.

This last ditch effort to save their worthless political skins by the political shenanigans of funding the troops is the straw that broke the camels' back. They have signed their own political death warrants. America is waking up. America is rising.

More Good News In The War In Iraq

~Snooper~

MNF-Iraq has a constant flow of news that any news service and any blogger and any interested party can and has access to, as long as one has an internet connection, and can get off their lazy asses and read. This particular story shows yet again how effective our military members and their counter parts of the INA have become.

[...] During operations in Mosul, Coalition forces captured a wanted individual reported to be a judge in a terrorist illegal court system in the city, who is believed to be involved in ordering and approving abductions and executions, as well as facilitating the transfer of money and weapons to local terrorist leaders. Coalition forces secured the target area without incident. The wanted individual identified himself to the ground force, and he was subsequently detained. [...]

Go read the rest...unless of course you might get soiled panties. The short piece describes how we are systematically disassembling the terrorist networks.

Don Surber On Iraq War Success And Politics

As the Democratic Party leadership, for lack of a more precise term, focuses on distractions away from the Good News in the Iraq war, it is we in the New Media to bring to the attention of the American People what idiots they, the Democratic Party leadership, really are.

Don Surber sums it up very nicely:

[...] Exactly. Steingart gets it. Reid, Pelosi and Obama do not. They are guided by political expediency. History guides Bush.

Steingart is hardly a fan of the president. But Germans tend to have this far-left pacifism.

Fortunately, the Germans no longer have far-left leadership. Nor do the French.

In my column this week, I concluded, "As they shop for a presidential candidate, Republicans are looking for the next Reagan, a fellow who suffered a great dip in popularity early in his first term. I suggest they may be better off looking for the next George Walker Bush."

The Iraq war is far from over. But if the next 12 months see a reduction in deaths the way the last 2 months have, then Americans will accept Iraq as a victory.

That pretty much eliminates an Obama or Edwards presidency, and maybe even a Hillary one. [...]

And the beats goes on...

There Are Several Definitions Of Stupidity

~Snooper~

Spree calls it The Definition Of Insanity. I suppose one can surmise that the two go hand in hand when talking about and discussing the ins and outs of the historically worse and most disapproved leaders of the House and Senate, PelosiCo and ReidCo. Either way, ReidCo and PelosiCo define the very definitions OF "stupid" and 'insanity".

In their collective and never ending lame attempts to hand victory over to the enemy, they always fail.

WASHINGTON - Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will vote as early as Friday on legislation that would spend $50 billion on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but require that President Bush start bringing troops home. [...]

How many times are they going to pander and cater to the crowds of insignificance?

From The Politico:

New Iraq measure would require withdrawal

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday she would bring a new Iraq measure to the House floor shortly to provide $50 billion in funds for the war, while requiring U.S. troops to begin redeploying out of Iraq immediately and conclude by the end of next year.

"In last year's election, the American people called for a new direction; nowhere was that direction more called for than in the war in Iraq," Pelosi told reporters. "And so in the next day or so, we once again bring to the floor legislation that makes a distinction, a clear distinction: choose a new direction from the Bush foreign policy in Iraq."

The California Democrat said the bill would leave a small force in the country to pursue Al Qaeda, protect U.S. interests and train Iraqi security forces. The bill would also require that U.S. interrogators abide by guidelines set forth in the Army field manual and that troops spend more time at home between deployments.

This measure, as with everything House Democrats have proposed to end the war in Iraq, would face significant hurdles in the Senate and would likely face a veto from the president.

The House could vote on the new measure as soon as Friday.

The new direction? This is The New Direction the American people wanted and still want...VICTORY. Nothing less than VICTORY is acceptable. Then again, PelosiCo and Reidco wouldn't know what that is unless it is to hand defeat to the United States and victory to Al Qaida.

Time and time again, these losers; these liars; these anti-Americanists have tried to hand the US over to the likes of any and all terrorist groups, all in the name of their insignificant and very low in numbers kook fringe morons and socialists and communists. When will it all end?

They call it a "new measure" and it is nothing of the sort.

TalkLeft is yammering on about the CNN poll but that can be discounted because we all know that CNN is the Caliphate News Company and they are as anti-America as a news group can get.

No one should be surprised one iota when the successes of the United States Military is relegated to the back pages of the worse newspaper in the known universe...The New York Slimes. This is the newspaper whose authors and editors have dedicated themselves to the defunct ways and means of the anti-America crowds.

BAGHDAD, Nov. 7 - American forces have routed Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, the Iraqi militant network, from every neighborhood of Baghdad, a top American general said today, allowing American troops involved in the "surge" to depart as planned. [...]

They are still trying to differentiate and isolate AQI from AQM...they are the same. One day these idiots will actually do something honest (don't hold your breath) and do some honest reporting.

So, why is this back-page news? It doesn't fit their failed agenda of defeatism. It doesn't fit their treasonous reporting. It doesn't fit their mold of Yellow Journalism. Little do they know, no one of substance trusts their reporting anymore. Besides-they don't report anymore...they whine.

The Corner points to one of many reasons why this is not a page one story:

Obviously, this is not Page One material. That space is reserved for running down a full-employment economy (the Dow is apparently down to "only" thirteen thousand three hundred), a big picture of Rudy with that ol' Times fave Pat Robertson, the news that Bernie Kerik is about to be indicted, and cheers over a House vote in favor of "Broad Protections for Gay Workers."

Has someone told Pinch that the '08 election is next week?

Another reason is this. It is a distraction technique utilized by losers, whiners and the insignificant. If the general public actually discovered that America is winning this war, they just might see how ignorant and politically biased the NY Slimes really is AND, they would discover how anti-American, ignorant and truly pathetic the Democratic Party has become. Prove me wrong. I dare you.

IraqPundit sums it up very well:

[...] It really comes down to this: you are determined to see Iraq become a permanent hellhole because you hate Bush. And we are determined to see Iraq become a success, because we want to live.

Pretty sad of our national leaders, don't you think? Is it any wonder why the vast majority of Americans laugh scornfully at he idiots of the MoveOn, Sadly, Retarded!, and the Salon Loons?

As Susan from Wake Up America states:

[...] That story, from a media outlet that usually bashes Bush, is about how Bush is becoming stronger, not weaker and more popular.... guaranteed to make the blood pressure of every Bush hater rise.

There is a lot of work to be done in Iraq, and even more work to be done by the Iraqi politicians. A country needs to be rebuilt, reconstruction will be difficult and reconciliation has started but there is a long way to go there too.

Just because hard work is ahead though is no reason to ignore the work that has been done and the success and progress our wonderful troops, coalition and Iraqi Security forces have accomplished.

So, was Iraqi Pundit talking about you when he said:

Is your hatred for George Bush so great that you prefer to see millions of civilians suffer just to prove him wrong? [...]

Recent successes NOT reported on and completely ignored by the Democratic Party Lack of Leadership and the RINOs of the other retarded party leaders:

Iraqi Army, Volunteers, Cavalry Troops Celebrate Success in Ameriya

[...] "Ameriya was a battlefield for most of the summer," Kuehl continued. "At this time, al-Qaida is defeated. We thought it was a good time to recognize that and get together and have a good time."

With three games in the morning, the soccer tournament was the main activity of the gathering. The 1-5 Cav. team played hard, but ended up being overtaken by both the IA team, 2-1, and the FAR team, 5-1. In the end, the FAR players were able to beat the IA team, 2-0.

While the round-robin tournament did have a competitive edge to it, most participants just seemed to want to have fun. "We came to enjoy ourselves and play a game, not to win," said IA Maj. Emad Kareen, commander of Company A, 2nd Battalion, 1st Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division, and their team coach. "Playing sports helps to build relationships in the field."

After the soccer tournament, trophies were handed out, and the Iraqis were then invited to the East Logistics Support Area mayor cell to join the cavalry troops in a cookout. [...]

They are playing SOCCER with our troops in the streets, folks. And this isn't Good News? Hello?

Concerned Iraqi Citizens Help "Sledgehammer" Brigade Smash Crime

[...] Crime has been slashed by 50 percent in an area just outside Baghdad, thanks to Iraqi citizens partnering with Coalition soldiers who live among them, an American commander said yesterday.

"After seven months in the area of operation, the people know us, and they know who we are, and they know we're here to help," Army Col. Wayne W. Grigsby Jr. told online journalists and "bloggers" during a conference call from Iraq. "We do not drive or commute to work anymore. We live in the towns with the people that we are here to help."

Grigsby commands 3rd Heavy "Sledgehammer" Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, which is on its third deployment to Iraq, this time patrolling the Madain Qada, an agrarian area southeast of Baghdad, as part of Multi-National Division-Center. Since they arrived in March, Hammer Soldiers have killed (113) insurgents and detained (364) others, including (15) "high value" targets, Grigsby said. [...]

I wonder what it would take to get the American crime rate down. Most assuredly, the Bleeding Heart Liberal programs have failed and failed miserably to control crime in the US.

The Captains Quarters observes:

The New York Times reports that US forces have "routed" al-Qaeda in Iraq from the Baghdad region. General David Petraeus' new strategies have pushed them out of "every neighborhood", and that only an eighth of the city remains to purge the other militias from control. The new, aggressive tactics of the Americans and the rise of the Iraqi Army have solidified the victory over the terrorists. [...]

[...] This puts new challenges on the plate. The remaining issues with Shi'ite militias need to be handled, but the momentum continues to stay on the side of the Coalition. Fil has no problem with the natural drawdown that will occur in Baghdad through normal troop rotation schedules in the next few months, confident that Iraqis have turned the corner themselves and want an end to violence in the streets. However, they want immediate improvements in infrastructure and rebuilding, and Fil says that the Coalition will need a new "surge" in these areas to solidify their gains.

We need to concentrate on electricity, water, and sewage systems. People do not like living in the dark, with standing sewage assaulting their nostrils and threatening their health on a constant basis. Now that the violence has mostly disappeared, declining by 80%, we should have more opportunities to boost our standing by providing solutions to these chronic problems, raising the standard of living in Baghdad and allowing its residents to put their efforts into their economy rather than protesting, or worse.

Security, Fil reminded his attendees, represents the beginning and not the end. Perhaps Churchill's words make the most sense here. "This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end," Churchill remarked in 1942, after the battle of El Alamein. "But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Given the central place Iraq has in the war on terror, it is a battle to show that free, self-governed people can prosper and flourish without radicalism. In that sense, Baghdad has only reached the end of the beginning, and perhaps not even quite that. But it is welcome news indeed that it has been rid of AQI and that the Shi'ite militias have retreated.
