Throughout the weekend, the MSM was constantly suggesting that the operation could do more harm than good and that it was simply a Bush political ploy.
No institution has betrayed this country more over the past several years than the mainstream media. They are wholly infected with institutionalized anti-Americanism.
We've talked about this a lot: it's clear that Operation Swarmer had two objectives. First, it was designed as a "walk through" for large numbers of Iraqi troops operating semi-independently. (A huge success). Second, it was, as all ops are, designed to kill terrorists. In a way, this appears to be less of a success, but in fact it was a huge success, because it shows we are flat running out of enemies to kill. As the line in "Major Payne" goes, "Major, you've killed them all."
We have so vastly depleted their ability to mass any numbers of "insurgents" at all that these operations get a handful anymore. That's good news, and it shows (as I've predicted for some time) there are finite numbers of these loonies, and they are running out of bodies.
