Papers show 'gloomy' state of insurgency AP - 23 minutes ago BAGHDAD, Iraq - A blueprint for trying to start a war between the United States and Iran was among a "huge treasure" of documents found in the hideout of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Iraqi officials said Thursday. The document, purporting to reflect al-Qaida policy and its cooperation with groups loyal to ousted President Saddam Hussein, also appear to show that the insurgency in Iraq was weakening. The al-Qaida in Iraq document was translated and released by Iraqi National Security Adviser Mouwafak al-Rubaie. There was no way to independently confirm the authenticity of the information attributed to al-Qaida.
I'm waiting for the announcement that part of the documents recovered was the Dimocrap talking points sent from Kennedy's email address - drunkbastard@nohope.dim
keep piling on... Another SAD day for Democrats!!!
The problem is, the insurgents didn't get their message out.
More bad news for House Dems! Hey, whats wrong with this picture??
I'm surprised that AP didn't throw in another 'yes, but' line of "al-Zarqawi was not available to confirm or deny the veracity of these documents."
The MSM preach the opposite.
What do you think?
I believe it when I see it. With this administration, I wouldn't put it past them to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
"I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency." Dick Cheney, May 2005
So basically CzarCowEeee was saying to BenLouden that despite his earlier intelligence, he had been wrong and the Americans did have Weapons of Staggering Destruction and his band of foreign terrorists, despite some being trained in Iraq, were in over their head and becoming lost in a QUAGMIRE.
The downside of this is the liberals will try to use this as an excuse to let Iran off the hook.
bttt - this article is a sweet read - to see the whole article, click on the top left picture at the yahoo site.
I just CAN'T imagine if we don't have the internet!!! If you just listened the lame-stream media at this moment, you'd think the scenario is 180 degrees the other way... SIGH
Don't let the left lie about Saddam's ties to AQ:

Osama bin-Laden's "day care centers" statement has always bothered me. The very idea that the patriarchal Islamic fundamentalists would sponsor a day care so mommy Fatima could go off to her rewarding career in the business world is totally ludicrous. That is about as likely to happen as an Islamic home for unwed mothers!!!
It simply shows the reality that we are winning this WOT plain and simple (yet the DEMs and MSM try and daily paint a lying picture of doom and gloom).
Hell the headline associated with this article is trying to paint a confusing picture for the average reader. Not clearly stating that it is the insurgency itself that is losing.
Saddam had no connections to terrorism pre-US invasion
Al Qaeda was not operational in Iraq pre-US invasion
The US mission in Iraq is failing to deliver a democratically-elected government in Iraq
Iraq cannot field substantial numbers of security troops
The invasion of Iraq is not helping protect the US from terrorists, rather it is hurting those efforts
Al Qaeda is winning; we have lost blood and treasure for nothing
Invading Iraq was all about oil
Middle Eastern countries can't handle anything other than Saddam-like dictatorships
Only the UN, and certainly not the US alone, can bring order to Iraq
I'm not trying to overstate our successes or diminish the work to be done. I'm just saying that apparently the MSM have been taken by surprise, when they were supposed to be objectively monitoring the situation there.
Send in Dr. Phil!
Odd how I don't see similar qualifiers at the end of stories on Haditha.
Too bad they didn't give our Marines at least this much benefit of the doubt. But, there they are again....carrying water for the insurgents. Making sure the readers know this could be propaganda.
This defensiveness on the media's part tells me one thing: they know that the US is winning this war and that the terrorists are slowly being ground down to nothing.
Just the fact that Zarqawi was betrayed by one of his own says that the terrorists have a significant segment who no longer believe they can win.
And that is the best definition of victory: when the new government is established in the minds of the Iraqis.
"President Bush - Saving your ass whether you like it or not!"
jane harmon on w/ John Gibson said this indicated nothing since there is NO independent verification of their authenticity. JUST AS RUSH PREDICTED!!!
Definitely NOT Jack Murtha's fault.
She needs to call up the CBS document experts to verify them.
Things are definitely looking far better than the MSM are reporting.
The announcement by Maliki of a possible amnesty can help the situation with not only getting some insurgents to lay down their weapons but take away any excuses later from those who continue to fight.
Yesterday at the President's news conference he mentioned that Maliki was going to enforce the weapons ban in Baghdad, that's the only mention I've heard of it. MSM didn't want to play that up I guess.
Liberals are soooo predictible. Their spouses must find life with them boring, after the first 6 months.
"Fake but accurate."
Jane Harmon has been losing her marbles quite consistently lately on the Iraq issue. I think she's getting tremendous pressure (threats) from the RAT masters. Sorry to see it, she was usually a fairly reliable voice of reason from the rodent side.
Re: Post # 21 by Darkwolf377
Very well said!
My point in posting this is that the MSM have been caught with their agenda sticking out, once again. I don't think most people care because I don't think they trust the media to portray the news accurately.
But in the long run I think this helps Bush and the Republicans, as things they claim are becoming obvious to even the densest DUmmie. (Which of course makes them hate Bush more.)
They'll just have to reverse that headline on this story.
And this is BEFORE Zarqawi's death and all the raids and dead terrorists as a result.
Michael Moore probably has "proof" that was planted by George Bush when he went to Iraq this week.
When there's peace in the ME will Dems jump out of windows?
LOL - Islamic half-way house for girls that only go half-way
Sour Grapes!
I was agreeing with you and just pointing out developements they are not reporting on. They hit the amnesty thing a little but they haven't hit the enforcement of the weapons ban that I've heard.
Has al-Qaida called it a quagmire yet?
Bush even tricked a huge number of them in to saying that Saddam had WMD before he was elected, or at least that's how they tell it. Then, in a most unusual case of collective amnesia, they forgot their own words and blamed that stupid Bush for saying exactly what they'd been saying, and they said he lied when he said it. Ya can't make this stuff up. But don't expect the MSM to notice how weird the Left is.
What happens in the evening?
