Report From Liberated Ramadi
Blogs for Bush ^ | September 19, 2007 | Mark Noonan

Michael Totten's latest Iraq report:

RAMADI, IRAQ – In early 2007 Ramadi, the capital of Iraq’s Anbar Province, was one of the most violent war-torn cities on Earth. By late spring it was the safest major city in Iraq outside Kurdistan.

Abu Musab Al Zarqawi’s Al Qaeda in Iraq had seized control with the tacit blessing of many local civilians and leaders because they promised to fight the Americans. But Al Qaeda’s rule of Ramadi was vicious and cruel. They turned out not to be liberators at all, but the Taliban of Mesopotamia.

Al Qaeda met resistance, after a time, from the Iraqis and responded with a horrific murder and intimidation campaign against even children. The Sunni Arabs of Ramadi then rejected Al Qaeda so utterly they forged an alliance with the previously detested United States Army and Marine Corps and purged the terrorists from their lands.

Combat operations are finished in Ramadi. The American military now acts as a peacekeeping force to protect the city from those who recently lost it and wish to return.

It is not, however, completely secured yet.

“Al Qaeda lost their capital,” Major Lee Peters said, “and the one city that was called the worst in the world. It was their Stalingrad. And they want to come back.”

So, the fight isn't over - but Ramadi is liberated from the Islamo-fascist tryants. Got that? Liberated. It is a word, and it means something. Our lefties should take note of something:

The Nazis we fought? Enslavers.

The Japanese Imperialists we fought? Enslavers.

The North Korean communists we fought? Enslavers.

The Chinese communists we fought? Enslavers.

The Vietnamese communists we fought? Enslavers.

The Taliban we fought? Enslavers.

The Saddamites we fought? Enslavers.

The al-Qaeda we fight? Enslavers.

Our enemies in Iran and Syria? Enslavers.

We are the liberators - we bring freedom, justice and peace...our enemies bring slavery, tyranny and war. This should be a no-brainer for all people of good will, but for some reason our lefties don't think of us as liberators, but as imperialists, oppressors...racist, sexist, homophobic bigots. Chrsto-fascists...an American Taliban. Strange world we live in, where some people see things entirely opposite from reality...and then call themselves the "reality based community".
