The White House needs to trumpet this loud and frequently, otherwise it will be ignored by the leftwing drive-by media as it does not fit their lose-at-any-price agenda. Note that the article appeared in the Washington Times. Any note of it in the Compost?

Of course we're winning.

The media narrative on the war has always been a stupidity. It still is.

Do you know what REALLY annoys the holy pie outta me?
It's the America haters who are really rooting for America to fail in Iraq. Their "good" news is a setback for America.

Horay for Bush and our soldiers! The WOT may never be won, like the war on poverty, drugs, crime, etc., but the particular a-holes in Afghanistan and Iraq CAN be...are are.

"...There was no way to independently confirm the authenticity of the information attributed to al-Qaida. .."

It would probably help if I included the actual phrase???

It's a civil war, you know. They want America to fail because it fits their world view and they think they will return to power on it's back.

I think this should be a clear statement that the Haditha story was largely fabricated and our media and Murtha swallowed it hook line and sinker.

Nice post. As many of us are aware, there is a far greater amount of counter insurgency operations now bearing fruit then any source gets wind of. Which of course is GOOD.
Suffice it that we get trickels such as this on occasions as TF77/145, US/Brit Army, US Marines, SOCOM as oversea of TF77/145 etc., keep drilling down through the levels and map everything to the tee and interface with growing numbers of realiable Iraqi units.
And if the IG is broadcasting some partial truths, so be it.
They are starting to finally take control of the situation, and that is what we have been after all along.

"Within 2 hrs. the AP was running stories suggesting this document was forged...Rush was reading on the air."

On the other hand, if true that would be good, too as it indicates our counter espionage tactic are working. Keep making more stuff like this up and name name, (eg Murtha)

Oh. Of course. Anything that goes against the patently idiotic libnut "narrative" on the war has to be, you know, part of a grand conspiracy.

The document said the insurgency was being hurt by, among other things, the U.S. military's program to train Iraqi security forces, by massive arrests and seizures of weapons, by tightening the militants' financial outlets, and by creating divisions within its ranks.

"Generally speaking and despite the gloomy present situation, we find that the best solution in order to get out of this crisis is to involve the U.S. forces in waging a war against another country or any hostile groups," the document said, as quoted by al-Maliki's office.

According to the summary, insurgents were being weakened by operations against them and by their failure to attract recruits. To give new impetus to the insurgency, they would have to change tactics, it added.

I agree. Although I think we'll be in Iraq ad infinitum...
Look how long we've been in Korea, Japan & Germany.

Iraq's a roller coaster ride. I hope we're not just going up another hill.

Oh, I'm sure there will be highs and lows for as long as we live.
The only way to completely rid ourselves of this would be a 21st century Crusade.
