Since the Surge is now at full force we have seen the most dramatic victories in the war. The city of Baghdad has been a sniper/IED zone after we toppled the statue and since the Surge began bombings are down 50%. Sniper attacks are down as well as civilian casualties down 50%. At this rate we will have people moving from Philadelphia to Iraq for some peace and safety.
How was this done. First and foremost, President Bush ignored the SurrendercRats who have said from day 1 that this will never happen to the point of Crooked Harry & Co declaring the war lost. Second, the Generals did what America is famous; they listened to the Grunt with the rifle on the ground and adapted. General Petreus developed a plan that has never been used in the history of warfare. He took his soldiers out of the safety of our forts and stationed them in the neighborhoods to clear them of terrorist enclaves.
We have never fought a purely terrorist war before. We have fought guerrilla wars but nothing as disorganized and small cell network that has no formal chain of command. The only way to fight this war is to conquer and hold to take away their safe houses/neighborhoods. The added benefit is as your troops clear the hoods of the cockroaches they pick up additional intel on the bad guys and develop trust from the local friendlies. The most valuable asset in a terrorist war is information of where and what they are hiding. This was good old fashioned American ingenuity that is bringing this Victory.
Iraq is quickly moving back to normal only in a way that they have never known. Over the past 5,000 years they have lived under kings and despots who governed them by fear and terror. For the past hundred years they have been ruled by ruthless Dictators who were students of Stalin, snatching people off the streets over any disagreement with these rulers. Michael Mooron heralded that Saddamn was freely elected by 99% of the vote. Now they are experiencing Freedom for the first time as well as self rule and the new responsibilities which accompany it. This is historic and will take more time to complete the gummit. This is a brand new Country being formed in front of our eyes. After all it took the Jews 40 years to throw off the chains of their slavery and took America, Japan, Germany and Israel decades to become working Democracies.
Of course we can never confuse true Democracy with the democrat Party or as many call it the Grim Reaper Party, which is about as far from an open an organization as it gets. That Party stands for communist totalitarian rule that will break your door down and steal your children if you have something they want. Their Party would rather the Iraqi people were tortured under Saddamn than breath the cool Breeze of Liberty.
The Cut&RunocRats would rather send millions of SE Asians or Iraqis to mass graves if they thought that would gain the reins of power. No that Party has no Soul, no Heart, no Compassion for the Oppressed, only a bloodthirsty craving of power. They are the Party of Death from Abortion to Euthanasia around to the Killing Fields Worldwide, their Blood soaked Hands are always leaving their prints everywhere. They are for the murder and oppression of everybody in the World, except you of course. No, they really care about your life. So much that they want to form another totalitarian gummit to enforce Your protection cradle to grave. Of course will require some reeducation camps.
Their greatest day ever was that sad day when our helicopters were lifting off the Saigon Embassy with civilians clinging to the skids knowing that that longshot was better than the certain death that awaited them. The CommiecRats had zero compassion for those unarmed Vietnamese who were about to face the firing squads, since these needed to be killed for the communist utopia. The ends justified the blood soaked killing field means. The helicopters symbolized their victory over the military with America kneeling to her communist Masters.
Conversely, their Worst Day is the upcoming Ticker Tape Parades that will mark the Greatest Victory since WWII as well as one of the truly selfless Triumphs in Histoir. The defeat of the Party would be complete as the military was again respected and revered by the American People as well as Feared Worldwide. America will again be Standing Tall with her Flame Lighting the Skies. That will end their hopes of a commie utopia here and put that final stake through their blackened hearts. Once again they are with the Soviet Union Tanks while the Wall is being sledged down by hurting humans standing up for American Freedom. The Surge is Working and the Rats are in the Trap.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
That is why they will do everything they can to endd this war as a loss.
It's funny because it's true.
Now watch someone spoil your brilliant post by bringing up illegal aliens, LOL!)
I absolutely agree with you.
This war has really been three wars in one.
The first war, the war on Iraq, was won by the end of May, 2003.
The second war, the Al Qaeda/Sunni Counterinsurgency, began in early 2004 with the killing of the four contractors and hanging of their burning bodies on that bridge in Fallujah. The surge has obliterated Al Qaeda in Iraq, and destroyed the Sunni resistance. Sunnis are now taking the USA/Gov of Iraq side of things. And a special note to the dems and DBM: The Sunnis are far closer to the action and know which way the wind blows much better than Tim Russert and Harry Reid. The latter two (and their comrades) are deceiving themselves if they think this war is lost. Er... Well, it is lost... For them and Al Qaeda, that is!
Lastly, a third war is no looming. It is the War on Iran. Many think the Shias of Iraq will now rise up on call for the Iranians. Well, it is not going to happen. The Shia of Iraq are neither stupid nor forgetful. They remember that the Persians treated them badly in the past and would rather dominate Iraq themselves than let Iran do so.
