For the Democrats in the MSM, admitting success would be admitting their defeat.

Even beyond the numbers of the surge is the importance of showing both our allies and our enemies that the 2006 GOP losses did not end our resolve.

Caution against a whole lot of end zone dancing and high fiving just yet.

There's still a lot of work and progress to be accomplished.

Still, it's going to be SWEET to see the pained looks on these smug hate-America sons a bitches faces!

They'll never acknowlege American victory when it happens. Books will be written 20 years from now(by democrats and journalists,of course) about how Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton won the war with brilliant behind the scenes diplomacy with the French.

When the Army and Marine Corps are on offense, carrying out combat operations and clearing out insurgent strongholds, we win. When we lay back, carrying out routine patrols and playing Baghdad beat cop, we lose.

Great piece.

This is exactly why murtha and the RATS want us to 'redeploy' out of Iraq, if this continues to be successful we win over the terrorists and the RATS lose politically.

We are used to the msm policy of hushing any successes. But why is the Whitehouse not crowing about them?

I believe that the "surge" was just another brilliant strategic move by GW to outflank the Dhimmis.

Although we have consistantly made progress in Iraq, it is too slow to conclusively shove the Dhimmi's noses in, and it's too subjective for our side to crow about. The end result has been a target-rich environment for the anti-American whiners in the Dhimmicrat Party and their agent provocateurs the drive-by media to sow the seeds of discontent amongst a fickle audience.

The Bush administration sees that they can't win in a head-on battle with these morons, so they devise a dodge - a classic red-herring. Proposing the surge draws all of the thimble-heads like Murtha, Pelosi, Durbin, and Biden out from under their rocks. It also shines the light of day on our internal enemies like Hagel, Paul, and Warner. It buys him critical time to prosecute the war relatively unimpeded while the nit-wits are busy showing off for the cameras, and it allows us to demonstrate the contrast between the cut~n~runners and those who really see the necessity to continue this fight.

GW is going to win on this surge thing. He has the prerogative, the law and the moral imperative on his side. Long after the Dhimmis have slinked (slunk?!) away, there will still be the sour stink of their cowardice remaining.

How is it that "History's worst President" consistently runs circles around the worlds self-styled "smartest party"?!

As the murtharoids and the media gloat over the lack of bad news, my local paper is running a story on the front page today about "Contractors, Iraq's Forgotten Victims".

Even if there is a carbombing tomorrow, we may not hear about it. The media's "knowlegeable sources" and " anonymous government officials" have all done the Mookie Boogie.

I heard Joe Biden being interview by Sissy Chrissy Matthews yesterday.

Matthews was asking about his legislation that he is planning on submitting to repeal the 2002 Iraq war resolution.

Matthews asked Biden how he thought he could possibly get that passed, when the Dems couldn't even get a NON-binding resolution passed either time.....

Biden said "Time, Chris, time...we will be seeing more Americans killed in Iraq, and more coming from Baghdad..and when that keeps happening..Americans will insist we do something...and we intend to put this resolution up as long as it takes..""

SEE...he said "TIME"....that is their WISH, their HOPE..that more Americans are killed, especially in Baghdad!!!! They are so sick they even admit that they are hoping for more deaths..
