"The Iraq war is over. We won."

"THE WAR IS OVER AND WE WON:" Michael Yon just phoned from Baghdad, and reports that things are much better than he had expected, and he had expected things to be good. "There's nothing going on. I'm with the 10th Mountain Division, and about half of the guys I'm with haven't fired their weapons on this tour and they've been here eight months. And the place we're at, South Baghdad, used to be one of the worst places in Iraq.

And now there's nothing going on. I've been walking my feet off and haven't seen anything. I've been asking Iraqis, 'do you think the violence will kick up again,' but even the Iraqi journalists are sounding optimistic now and they're usually dour." There's a little bit of violence here and there, but nothing that's a threat to the general situation. Plus, not only the Iraqi Army, but even the National Police are well thought of by the populace. Training from U.S. toops has paid off, he says, in building a rapport.

No, now that the leftists are safely in power here, there will be no reason for the MSM to deny the obvious any longer ... that we won. Of course, somehow they will give the credit to Obama.

First, Al Gore solved Global Warming and now Barack Obama — even before officially becoming President — has won the war in Iraq. Will wonders never cease!

Michael Yon reporting that WE'VE WON is more important to me than ANYTHING Harry Reid, The Messianic noOb or any of that bunch could say the rest of their miserable lives.



Salute!

We won the war in 39 days. Securing the peace has taken a little longer.

I think Bush should go ahead and do a massive withdrawal before his departure—signaling the end of the war. That way after Obama takes office, any resurgence will be on his watch. Also, if our troops came home in December in time for the holidays, victorious, under Bush’s command, it would make Obama look pretty stupid for trying to prosecute his administration for war crimes, like they are threatening to do.
