We lost the war, when our military was ordered to “win their hearts and minds.”
As a soldier for 20 years, I supported this war in Iraq in every way possible.
Today, it is time for our heroes to come home.
this the story Drudge is hawking?
Carlson: Shift news to successes in Iraq, soldier urges

”Hello media, do you know you indirectly kill American soldiers every day? You inspire and report the enemy’s objective every day. You are the enemy’s greatest weapon. The enemy cannot beat us on the battlefield so all he does is try to wreak enough havoc and have you report it every day. With you and the enemy using each other, you continually break the will of the American public and American government.
“We go out daily and bust and kill the enemy, uncover and destroy huge weapons caches and continue to establish infrastructure. So daily we put a whoopin on the enemy, but all the enemy has to do is turn on the TV and get re-inspired. He gets to see his daily roadside bomb, truck bomb, suicide bomber or mortar attack. He doesn’t see any accomplishments of the U.S. military (FOX, you’re not exempt, you suck also).
“Let’s give you an example. A couple of days ago we conducted an air assault. We lifted troops into an area for an operation. The operation went well and our ground troops killed (insurgents) and took several prisoners, freed a few hostages and uncovered a weapons cache containing munitions and chemicals that were going to be used in improvised bombs.
“The next morning I woke up and turned on AFN (Armed Forces Network) and watched the nightly news (NBC). Nothing, none of that reported. But the daily car bomb report was reported, and the file footage was not even from the event. There was a car bomb in the Sadr City area and your news report showed old car bomb footage from another part of town from some other time.
“So we really set the enemy back that night but all the enemy had to do was turn on the news and be reassured that the enemy’s agenda (objective) was still going to be fed to the American public.
“We, the soldiers, keep breaking the back of the enemy. You, the media, keep rejuvenating the enemy.”
this is the most confusing article I have read. I am not clear what the author is trying to come up with as a conclusion. The writing itself is not clear and one is not able to follow it.
I’m only in my early 30s. Was it this bad with these treasonous clowns during Vietnam? I can’t imagine what it must have been like with no internet and the a-hole media in complete control of all news.
Think about it. If you you running insurgent ops, where would you embed your forces? Heck, you don't even need to outfit them.
The NYT is trying to kill US Soldiers as well.
The MSM is gnawing off the lifeline that sustains it’s own existence. Suicidal?
I doubt that. I send a lot of care packages and I've got a thick folder of thank-you notes from troops. Of those that express any sentiment yea or nay about the fight in Iraq all but one are firmly 'pro'. This is just more NYT moonshine.
is this Michael Kamber related to Vic Kamber, the Clinton toady (who reputedly once dated one of the Nixon girl, then after being uneremoniously dumped switched to the left?)
I see the handwriting on the wall.
The NYT is trying to prop up support for the VAIW.

Wonder how long the Old York Times had to dig to find this guy?? Wonder how much of it is out of context and how much is pure fabrication.

Is this something new in the history of wars?
When they searched the bomber’s body, they found identification showing him to be a sergeant in the Iraqi Army ... “We’re helping guys that are trying to kill us. We help them in the day. They turn around at night and try to kill us.”Uh... did it ocurr to neither Sergeant Safstrom nor our dear reporter that the perp was not a soldier turning around as an insurgent, but an insurgent who had infiltrated the Iraqi Army?
“We’re helping guys that are trying to kill us. We help them in the day. They turn around at night and try to kill us.”
You can expect the same to happen in every Muslim country.
