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.

Thanks for the ping,Calpernia!

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.

Perhaps we should bring some of our troops home. Part of me would like to see the Navy SEAL snipers turned loose to hunt the enemy within.

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.
