This one needed a MEGA-BARF Alert tag. The legacy media are beneath contempt.
Geez, I thought the election rhetoric was over. I see the fantasies of the left are not.
This isn't a Knight Ridder analysis, it's a Brookings Institute analysis dressed up in figures culled by Knight Ridder.
Biden: US Losing Illegitimate Iraq War
Who's Responsible for Losing the Media War in Iraq?
Are these the same people who bitch when their football team is ahead 42-7...at halftime?
It's always easier to destroy than to build. That's the advantage of "asymmetric" or guerilla war.
Instead of just saying "Nononononononono!"...are these stats true?
"The United States is steadily losing ground to the Iraqi insurgency"
Taking a page right out of Walter Cronkite's statements about Vietnam. This is just incredible.
The left's treachery continues.
Whatever.
The rug pilots in the Middle Waste are being given their last chance, with GWB's "experiment" in Iraq: Join the 21st Century, or face annihilation.
Nobody's going to bother to try force-feeding them "Democracy" again, if they blow this one.
Crap Weasel Alert
This terrorist insurgency in Iraq is doomed to fail and will be crushed for the following reasons:
They are only supported by a minority among a the Arab Sunni who are a minority to begin with.
They do not have any geographical depth, they are only concentrated in central Iraq.
They do not have any organized leadership.
Their actions is leading to absolutely nothing. Sending car bombs to kill civilians and cutting people head do not win war, it have never succeeded because it has zero significance militarily or politically.
A group of twenty or thirty thousands terrorists cannot win against the mightiest military in history of mankind, the US military. Any person who believes otherwise is a complete idiot.
The defeated Liberals and their whores in the DLM (Defeated Liberal Media) are hallucinating about making Iraq President Bush Vietnam. Their hate toward President and their insane delusion is going to finish them once and for all in the next four years.
Hmmmm, elections in one week and we're losing ground. These will be the second major national elections in the region within the last three months. In both instances they were either the first elections ever, or the first in a long long time.
Loosing ground? Tell that to the free citizens of Afghanistan. Tell that to the free citizens of Iraq.
Screw Knightridder. They couldn't get the story right if their asses were on fire.
Blah blah quagmire blah blah losing blah not worth the cost blah blah blah......blah.
Jeffrey White, a former Defense Intelligence Agency analyst
One more talking head in love with the sound of his own voice.
There are lot of good things, but lots of bad things going on. I won't hold my head in the sand about the latter.
I don't think the negative nannies are right that we will fail.
However, this is a definite worry of mine:
"Hopes that the election might lead to less violence have recently given way to more dire warnings, with expectations that Sunni insurgents who feel disenfranchised in the new Iraq will turn their guns on the elected government."
However, it is my hope and expecation that once we leave, the terrorists will stop and respect the new govt., at least after new elections. But, that may not happen.
ping!

Blah, Blah Blather
The casualties spike up in November with the assault on Fallujah, and that carried into December with subsequent pursuit of insurgents into other cities. But don't let the facts get in the way.
Attacks on the U.S.-led coalition since November 2003, when statistics were first available, have risen from 735 a month to 2,400 in October.
First of all, define attacks, and second, buried in this stat is the fact that attacks on American troops are dropping.
One of the first signs of statistical abuse is when the baseline changes from claim to claim.
The MSM idiots are going to get their collective panties in a bunch with the impending elections which are going to be more successful then they fear it could be. Expect such 'preemptive' attacks till then.
