Well I don't know about that but there are some hopeful signs.

Since the MSM won’t be reporting this good news, it is up to us to spread the word via the Internet.

The New York Slimes are deeply saddened.

The clay tablets dug up in the vicinity of Baghdad, reveal similar scandal and despair over four thousand years ago.

Huh???

I genuinly enjoyed reading this. I really adds things up and puts them in perspective.
I can smell the diehard Baathist butchers running away from their past and murdering desperately to escape justice, which will be delivered either by the hands of the US Armed Forces, the Iraqi Government or the vendetta of the Kurds and Shia militias.
They remind me of the remaining diehard nucleus of Nazi SS Officers who fought and killed ‘til the last second, and even afterwards, to escape their certain justice, choosing suicide before surrender.

Didn’t something like this happen during the Tet offensive in 1968? That is, the U.S. armed forces won a great victory and the MSM convinced the American public that it was a defeat.

In six to nine months from now the whole world will realize that America won the war and that Al Qaeda, Iran, Syria and all their terrorist proxies were utterly defeated in Iraq.

In the last six weeks the most important turning point of the war since the fall of Saddam has been taking place. The general rebellion of the Sunni Arabs against Al Qaeda terrorists has deprived Al Qaeda from their most important line of defense which "was" the support and shelter provided by the Sunni Arabs. Because of this Al Qaeda terrorists fate has been sealed they will either surrender to our troops or be annihilated by our troops.

God bless our troops.

When the violence will be reduced by 70 to 80% in the next six months even the treasonous liberal media cannot hide this fact that America won, they will try but they will fail.

But let's face it, these guys are also all over the lists Shia death squads carry. Iran has even offered cash rewards for the deaths of many Saddam lieutenants who were involved in the 1980s Iran-Iraq war, or subsequent murders of Shia clergy. The Kurds have their death lists as well. These are desperate and dangerous people.

I believe this thug is still at large

Yes North Vietnam got their arses handed to them in the Tet Offensive. It was basically a hail Mary play. They accomplished exactly ZERO of their goals. It would have been the first step of North Vietnam actually losing the war.

But the media and suits in Washington spun it that is was a great loss to us.

Kennedy called Iraq “George Bush’s Vietnam”, well guess what, the only reason it will be is because of the media and the suits in Washington, like Kennedy, Reid, and Pelosi.

In addition, there are several hundred local irregulars, who have switched sides. This is a big change in the Baghdad suburbs.

I hope that remains permanent...loyalties switch in that area real quick.

Yep. And Dan Rather was leading the media charge if I remember correctly.

I’ve heard that.

The MSM has really misserved the American public. Hopefully, more Americans will turn to Alternative Media.

Yep. And Dan Rather was leading the media charge if I remember correctly.

The anchorman was Walter Cronkite. Rather may have been the reporter on the ground but it was Cronkite that LBJ referred to when commenting that if he had lost Cronkite, he had lost America.

.

After our winning every battle of the Vietnam War, America’s Media fooled us into withdrawing from the field of battle.

A post-WATERGATE Democrat Congress then cut-off all our funding for a still Free South Vietnam to fight for its own Freedom with.

This when the Communist Soviet Union, per KGB Files, had given $6 billion in tanks and mobile artillery pieces to the North
...for its ‘Final Solution’ in the South.

Which came in just 55 Days.

.

Resulting in:

It looks like the media is hoping that history repeats itself.
