Both the terrorists and U.S. troops know that victory has been defined as several weeks with no bombs going off in Baghdad. The media is keeping score, and they use their ears and video cameras. No loud bangs and no bodies equals no news. That’s victory.

Baghdad bombings kill 75--June 19

[Alas Babylon!]

Well, I have always thought that the war was over and won by May of 2003. What we've faced then is a more dificult anti-terrorist campaign of counter-insurgency with a few moments of hard battle (Fallujah, Nov 2004).

I compare what's going on now to what the Israelis have been facing for decades. Do we say they failed, or they've lost? Of course not! But the bombings and terrorism will not stop completely. Will it abait? That's what these recent campaigns and the surge are all about.

Why the DBM can't get behind THAT goal is shamefull. For them, it's all about getting democrats elected. Power in their fellow traveller's hands is far more important than the lives of a few Iraqis and GI saps.

Brilliant catch kabar, it’s already on the msm, they just can’t stop reporting one side of the war.
It also pays to know who you are going up against, some of the websites I checked last night were doing just that!!

Here is what they are up to on a world wide crusade courtesy of Douglas Farah:

While we (even members of the adm.) try and “make nice” to groups like CAIR,The Muslim Brotherhood, and ISNA in reality they are waging a war on the U.S., Europe and the entire world. Meanwhile we are getting sucked right in to (if you would just talk with them BS)the above is worth checking out.

Also this one is equally worthwhile checking out”The Two Trees of Jihadist Slide Strategy”, also follow the links to Frontpage Magazine, some excellent stuff here.It’s here:

And finally the ultimate piece that explains even more of their strategy. It’s here:

Here is a taste of what you will see at Ladyhawk:

Here is something to remember about our worldwide enemy, “The islamists”
“the Islamists aren’t just murdering people, but they’re destroying schools to further intimidate anyone who isn’t a muslim....destroying lives of anyone who isn’t a Muslim or...regurgitating passages of the Koran..

Also don’t skip the piece on N.Korea, very revealing. (the third link is wrong I lost it somehow)
