The Democrat backstab hasn’t failed, not yet. It’s too early to tell, but, as Retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo “Dirty” Sanchez, recently stated in the Democratic weekly radio address, Iraqi leaders had failed to make “hard choices necessary to bring peace to their country.” Until those bickering tribals over there do make some political progress, the jury’s still out.
All we’ve shown so far is that we can force ‘em to occasionally behave in a slightly more civilized manner if we lean on ‘em hard enough. Old Paul Harvey has said something about the Middle Eastern Muslims being unready for, and incapable of, understanding and maintaining fair elections and representative government. I agree with Paul.
I used to respect Paul until he pi$$ed and moaned on and on about the three wars America has lost-Vietnam, Iraq, and I’m not sure what other one he bleats about. Time for him to retire. Good job for Fred Thompson when he bows out of the race.
There is plenty of political healing going on over there... but like our vast MILITARY VICTORIES... the msm lies and refuses to report the truth about it. This too will become impossible for them to do... IRAQ is WON!

Were you saying this same sort of stuff about military progress 6 months or 9 months ago? Do you actually trust the media to report accurately on political developments over there, or will they use the same lens they used when it came to reporting the military and hearts-and-minds aspects?

No, we've shown that at the town and province level they don't need to be leaned on at all. Your picture of Iraq is so out of date it predates Petraeus.

Paul Harvey is qualified to judge the success of counter-insurgency strategies in the same way I'm qualified to be the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. In other words, not at all.
