In the Military Alphabet, AWR is Alpha Whiskey Romeo. In Iraq today, its a code term of American soldiers. Whenever they use AWR or Alpha Whiskey Romeo in their communications, everyone knows what it really stands for: Allahs Waiting Room. Thats what our soldiers have turned Iraq into for the terrorists, and thats why our soldiers know they are winning this war.
Thats also why our soldiers have more contempt for MSM journalists and Democrat politicians than the Jihadi terrorists for at least the terrorists are honest about being an enemy, instead of pretending theyre on your side while stabbing you in the back.
The Democrat distortion of the War in Iraq has become flat-out deranged. Yet for all the alternate medias attempts to tell the truth, Johnny and Suzie Lunchbucket still get most of their news through the MSM, which is why a majority of the Lunchbuckets, according to polls, believe Bush lied to get us into the war, and that it is a war we are losing.
Both are lies, which any Democrat on Capitol Hill privy to basic intel reports knows, yet the Big Lie is a proven propaganda tool, and its working on the American public right now.
But not among our guys on the ground in Iraq. Lets start with two basic ways they are winning.
First is snipers. Marine snipers. Navy SEAL snipers. Army Ranger snipers. There are lots and lots of them in Iraq, they are unbelievably good at their work, which they do quietly, efficiently, and all by themselves with no press coverage. They are taking out Jihadis one by one, a silent pop from nowhere and goodbye, all over Iraq.
One single Marine sniper currently on his third tour has personally racked up well over a hundred confirmed kills. The total number of Jihadis taken down by snipers is classified, but its certainly many thousands by now.
Second is the fifty battalions of Iraqi soldiers who are completing their training and will soon be loosed upon the Jihadis. These folks are fighting for their own country and will be ruthless in doing so. Couple this with the increasingly good intel from Iraqis on the street, Sunnis and Shias, who are cooperating with Coalition Forces and the emerging Iraqi military because they are totally fed up with the Jihadis.
As the evidence mounts that the Jihadis are losing in Iraq, the more desperate the Democrats and the medias attempts to suppress and deny the evidence.
So I thought I would provide you with some direct evidence of how things are really going in Mesopotamia. This is an unvarnished, personal SitRep situation report from a Marine who just spent seven months at Camp Blue Diamond near Ramadi, Iraq, deep in Apache country.
Well call him Jay. What follows is notes taken by his father while at home on leave. Its an assessment, negative and positive, of the tactics, weapons, equipment, and overall situation of both the good guys and the bad guys. It is both chilling and thrilling.
Particularly his Bottom Line conclusion. The heroism of American soldiers like Jay makes an astounding contrast to the refusal of the American media to tell the truth about them. Jay has re-enlisted for another four years in the Marines and will be returning for a second tour in Iraq this coming January. He says he can hardly wait.

Iraqi's Thank America (Wow, this is moving!)
Thanks for the ping!
But today there is the internet, and in the time it took those servicemen to tell just one person, several thousands of people can learn just how cooked the MSM news reports really are.
Hey Quid,
Thanks for this post. I hope Jay is safe enough and kickin' ass.
Too bad the media slimes do not do investigative reporting
with men home on leave to get this kind of picture. I am almost tempted to find a squad marine and send him my Benelli Tactical Nova 12 ga. with a case of fleshette sabots and a case of Sauvestre Slugs. Merry Xmas!
I thank him for his service and wish him good hunting.
No, they wouldn't, it would end up on the cutting room floor and our guys know it. It's going to take a live press conference, with most of the world watching. Even then, with the five second cut off I wouldn't put it past the dishonest journalist to cut them off so it can't be heard.
What they can't cut off though, is 160,000 soldiers all returning home to tell their friends and families. That word will begin traveling fast, and the local papers will print it. The small local papers are the only ones who still have honest people working for them.
This is an outstanding post quidnunc.I think most of us are intrinsically aware of our success in Iraq, but to read about it in the words of those there is truly moving and inspiring.
great read
Correct. The elephant in the living room is that we are winning the war and in fact doing so easily. That spells doom for the Dems, who are entirely wedded to disaster and failure. It is not going to materialize for them. So the closer actual victory gets - the election, Saddam's sentencing, leaders caught, Iraqi units taking over defense responsibilities, etc - the louder they must wail.
The dissonance this creates will build until it is total, at the moment the clouds part and it becomes clear for the first time - we've actually won. And then the Dems will literally not have the first idea what to do.
What if agroup of returned soldiers, no longer in the service (so they're not breaking any military discipline), did a sit-down hunger-strike in front of the NYT building? In the snow. With Fox News covering it every day. And Rush going there in person to talk to them on the air. And Bush even dropping by to "hear their concerns". Or at least sending Cheney.
I don't know if it is with snipers; but I am sure we are hunting the enemy within.
Thanks for the ping. Excellent read and good news.

Thanks for posting. Don't miss this one girls and boys.
And when the Iraqi battalions become "ruthless" against the jihadi's in their midst...the left will throw a freakin' fit.
