THE WASHINGTON TIMES

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said yesterday that U.S. and allied forces in Iraq are winning the war against former Saddam Hussein loyalists, foreign terrorists and criminals. "I'm going to say this: I think we are winning," Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers said during a briefing at the Pentagon. "I think we're definitely winning. I think we've been winning for some time." Although terrorist car bombings have increased, the four-star general said, the number of attacks "is a poor measure of whether you're winning or losing."

The BBC reported this story on Radio 4 this morning as "the insurgents are winning".

Funny that.

That's because Myers said 'We are winning' and the BBC took the 'we' to mean the BBC and everyone else who is on their side.

General Myers states that Syria and Iran support the terrorists.

Maybe it is time the State Dept started condemning Iran/Syria almost daily. And it is time to have some bombs accidentially fall on Syria/Iran if they are aiding these Terrorists -- with a note that it may happen in the future if attacks come from these states and/or these states aid the terrorists.
