Can you imagine what this country could accomplish if we worked with one mind?

And imagine further the hell that Democrats could inflict on future generations of Americans with their policies of defeat and appeasement...

The same incrementalism that worked so well in Viet Nam is being put to work in Iraq. Trouble is, W’s out of time.

The Surge has Worked and Victory is Ours, NO thanks to the Rats. The Stone Age Press will be reporting our failures from the back of the Victory Parades.

Pray for W and Our Troops

How startled CNN producers and the Senator must have been to see the front-page story this week in the Washington Post reporting that American troops have dealt “devastating and perhaps irreversible blows to al-Qaeda in Iraq.” If our forces have achieved this without it being their mission, and despite the “resistance” of “ordinary Iraqis,” they must be warriors unlike any the world has seen since Thermopylae.

Bears repeating. :-) Is the media on the verge of reaping what it has sown?

"The Iraqi people are fed up with the violence and with the extremists, both Sunni and Shia,” Grigsby said. Far from “resisting” the American troops in their communities, “they want to join the fight and protect their neighborhoods. They are coming to us and saying, ‘How can we help? We don’t want to live like this.’”

This culture has always responded to strength. When we show that we are not only going to kill the enemy, but also occupy the areas the enemy once had they will support us. It also means we are going to have to be there a long time till they learn how to deal with the external and internal terrorists.

My thinking is it's always better to kill the enemy before they come here.

Col. Wayne W. Grigsby, Jr., who commands a “surge” brigade based in a mixed Sunni and Shia area near Baghdad, made it simple for me in a phone conversation this week: “We do not commute to work,” he said. “We live in the towns with the people we are here to help.”

Beautiful. Spoken like a true leader.

It’s a good article, but like most such articles it isn’t pointing out the larger strategic facts such as Al Qaeda being unable to expand their war into Israel...being unable to take over Egypt...losing Somalia to Ethiopian Christians...losing Lebanon (twice!)...being unable to overthrow Musharraf in Pakistan...losing Libya...losing Liberia...losing Afghanistan, etc.

Which is to say, it isn’t *just* that Al Qaeda is getting its clock cleaned in Iraq. It’s also that solidly Islamic nations such as Jordan have declared war...not against the U.S...but against Al Qaeda itself!

And in the process, the U.S. has *more* allies today than we had prior to 2003.

In contrast, nations that once opposed our mission in Iraq now support it (e.g. France). Leaders who opposed the Iraq War are out of power.

Schroeder is gone from Germany. Martin is gone in Canada. Chirac is gone in France. Hussein is dead in Iraq.

So Al Qaeda is losing, and losing in a big way not only militarily, but also politically/diplomatically.

Is it any surprise that Al Qaeda has been unable to repeat 9/11 here in the U.S. after President Bush took the war to anti-American elements worldwide?!

What about all of the other terrorist organizations in Iraq? Are they also on the run?

Imagine what this nation could do if even one politician on either side believed in the greatness of this country as much as does Rush Limbaugh.

The Surge has Worked and AQ is Dead

If BL is on this side of the earth, he has no choices. He sends more AQ to Iraq and they have nowhere to hide. The citizens can spot them like a Black Man at a Klan Convention, and will receive the same reception. Its over for AQ in Iraq and the humiliation will spread elsewhere.

Pray for W and Our Troops
