In the Military Alphabet, AWR is Alpha Whiskey Romeo. In Iraq today, it’s a code term of American soldiers. Whenever they use “AWR” or “Alpha Whiskey Romeo” in their communications, everyone knows what it really stands for: Allah’s Waiting Room. That’s what our soldiers have turned Iraq into for the terrorists, and that’s why our soldiers know they are winning this war.
That’s 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 they’re 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 media’s” 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 it’s working on the American public right now.
But not among our guys on the ground in Iraq. Let’s 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 it’s 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 media’s 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.
We’ll call him Jay. What follows is notes taken by his father while at home on leave. It’s 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.

Excellent...thanks Fred!
As such, for our guys, every fight is to the death. The infantry fighting is frequent, up close and brutal. No quarter is given or shown. Surrender is not an option.
Not much differant than fighting the 19th century comanche indians. US Cavalrymen refused to surrender to the comanche knowing they were a sadistic, ghoulish, race of people who took prisoners only for the pleasure they derived in their torture and mutilation. The comanches couldn't understand why the cavalrymen, when trapped, dug in and fought to the finish. "Why won't they surrender so we can torture them to death", they wondered. I'm not certain, but I think the only way to pacify the comanche was to practically kill them all.
I wonder what "manchurian candidate" McCain has to say about this.
Thanks for the ping!
I agree. The EMENEDIA and the Democrats are the enemy from within, doing all they can to sabotage success in Iraq!
Thanks for the ping Fred!
Our “esteemed” MSM reports mostly the bad, slants the news and commentary against us, and far too many Americans still believe in the integrity, truthfulness and impartiality of what they see and read. Politicians follow the polls, and our MSM’s influence shows. I noticed that our “esteemed” Congress Critters did not start working against our Military and for the Jihadists until the polls started to show people were falling for Jihad Cindy and her line of BS.
It’s a vicious cycle. The news influences the people, politicians jump on the bandwagon, the news reports more politicians against the war, more people believe its wrong (because Our Betters say so), more politicians storm and rage against the war.

Yep.
Our Walter Cronkite wannabes no longer have a corner on the market. There is hope.
The accomplishments of the Iraqi people for the next thousand years are not worth the life of the least of the people we've lost there. It's a damn good thing that we're doing this for wider purposes other than some ragheads in Baghdad being able to vote. At least I still believe that...
Bottom line though, and they all say this, there are not enough of us in Iraq to drive the final stake through the heart of the insurgency, primarily because there aren't enough troops in-theater to shut down the borders with Iran and Syria.
Fantastic read, and thank God, the internet is making a huge difference this time. The MSM and Libs are like the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz, melting away.
I am going to do an hour show on this site on my TV Show and talk about it on other radio shows if possible.

I'm impressed that you have a TV show and contribute to radio shows. If they are broadcast here in the northeast, please let me know. Thank you for your work.

Who in the heck is Walter Krankheit?
Appreciate update re: the snipers.
BIG TIME THANKS for posting this. I have already forwarded the story via e-mail to several conservative friends.
Cool tidbit. The world's record for a sniper is 159 that is held by a US Marine in Vietnam.
Thank you for keeping me on your ping list, and for pinging me to this article in particular.
I've forwarded a copy to my father, a Yellow Dog democrat, for his edification. Thanks again.
I hope you are right. I have passed this on to ALL my friends and hope they will keep it going.
Excellent read.
