Security forces control virtually all Iraq: Petraeus Mon Jul 28, 2008 2:32pm EDT

By Dean Yates

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi and U.S. forces now control virtually all of Iraq and Baghdad's troops might be able to take on security responsibility for the whole country by the end of 2009, the senior U.S. general in Iraq said on Monday.

General David Petraeus told Reuters in an interview that progress in Iraq in the past year had been "very dramatic" but he said suicide bombers would still slip through security nets.

So the surge didn't work huh?

What do you call it when you win an unwinnable war?

You call it victory.

[bamahead]

Well well well....

Petraeus ‘betrayed’ the liberals, by going out there and winning the war for us...

Does anyone question who’s side they’re on anymore?

I wish President Bush would declare victory, explain that the Iraqis are now in charge of all 18 provinces, we will be staying in a few bases (just like we are in Germany, Japan, etc...) at the request of the Iraqis in case AQ shows up again, and have a ticker tape parade down the canyon of heroes. Let the American people feel good about the war.

Bad news for a certain fat-*ss Obama supporter.

My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) ...by Michael Moore

Friends,

I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted.

So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote -- and yours -- on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama?

"The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not 'insurgents' or 'terrorists' or 'The Enemy.' They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win. Get it, Mr. Bush?"

Obama, Reid, Pelosi and Clinton, here’s an assessment from the man who knows!

[Aquinasfan]

Which candidate supported the surge and which one didn’t? The media clearly knew the answer to that question a year ago, but now the media seems strangely confused.

[DariusBane]

The problem with this is that if he did it Iraqi’s would die. Somebody over there would stage a dramatic high casualty attack to prove him wrong and stoke fear here. Provoke Move On types etc.

Our troops need a retroactive pay raise and all the appreciation we can give them.

MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA!
MAY GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY AND ITS LEADERS ALL!
