Thanks to documents recovered in Abu Musab 'al-Zarqawi's bombed out Headquarters, 104 terrorists have been killed and hundreds more taken prisoner. Dozens of weapons caches have been captured. But of almost equal importance is the insight we gained into 'al-Qaeda's state in Iraq.
The 21st century's Ho Chi Minh despaired of the state of his terror organization. He was writing that America was winning the war and he wasn't replacing his combat losses. Do you remember how Liberal "Geniuses" went on and on about how we were "creating more terrorists"? Yeah right. Zarqawi complained about how he wasn't getting any new recruits.
The late, unlamented Abu Musab also said that he felt the US Army was winning the war and successfully raising up a native Army for the new Iraqi Republic that he would not be able to defeat.
The Zarqawi documents prove that everything the Liberals have argued about the war in Iraq is the opposite of the truth. Those of us with our heads not in a very dark place have known this all along.
The Libs loved to compare the Iraq War with the Vietnam War, even tho the two were as different as Vietnam's jungle climate from Iraq's desert. They gave a whole new meaning to "stuck on stupid." However, there is one similarity between the two wars. In both cases the Left betrayed America in an effort to help a murderous enemy win. The Left to this day has to say that Vietnam was both unwinnable and immoral. Lemme tell you people out there, in 1965 there wasn't a more noble cause than preventing the Killing Fields of 1975 that we are all familiar with or turning Vietnam into the totalitarian gulag state it is today. But our "patriotic" Liberal countrymen used to hang posters and chant the name of the Bolshevik tyrant of Hanoi. "Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh, (North) Vietnam will win!" and then go spit in the face of an American veteran.
We need to remember the Killing Fields. Saddam had his Killing Fields too. And if the war in Iraq was lost more mass graves will get filled. Make no mistake about it. It won't affect, Liberals. Just as Liberals in 1975 put on Bell Bottoms and went to Studio 54, totally untouched in their little ivory tower world by the Khmer Rouge and Viet-Cong they helped bring to power, so too would they continue to go to their Starbucks' and drink their lattes. It won't be them filling up the mass graves. So what do they care?
It's up to Red State America, brothers and sisters. We have to defeat not just the terrorists, but Blue State America as well. Or millions will die.
Ive never said this before.....
It is all BUSH's fault!!!
It's obvious Iraq will turn into a modern day "killing fields" should we prematurely withdraw.
It's so frustrating that the libs can't/won't realize that.
Buckhead freeper proved liberal media lies.
Thanks for your post, it's a great piece.
Precisely the result that traitorous SOB Kerry would like to see happen - just like in Vietnam after we left.
Yep, it's been quite a week. And you won't see Zarqawi's assessment covered in the New York Times.
The killing fields didn't bother them then. Why should the left care now?
"The late, unlamented Abu Musab also said that he felt the US Army was winning the war and successfully raising up a native Army for the new Iraqi Republic that he would not be able to defeat."
Nice to hear it from the horse's...mouth.
The Marxist ENEMEDIA will never print this of course.
Nail, head, nuf said.
Great post.
I would LOVE to see the new Zarqawi replacement get killed in the first week of his new job. That would have a HUGE effect to demoralize AQIR.
Like Gulf War I when Saddam had his troops hidden in bunkers at night. All of a sudden, the bunker 1 mile away explodes. Then the bunker 3/4 mile away. Then the bunker 1/2 mile away. Then the bunker 1/4 mile away. Pretty soon, they get it... and then they haul ass out of the bunkers cause they know they are next.
If we could hit that guy quick, I believe a whole lot of AQIR would get out as quick as they can. Once that is done, we would have a much easier job dealing with the situation between the Sunnis and Shiites because that is primarily a political problem.
"Or millions will die."
You say that it won't affect the libs. But, if AQ wins they may fulfill their promise to kill 4 million Americans. The enemy will probably target our big cities, which are filled with libs.
Then those who survive will scream, "Bush failed to protect us."
This point can not be over emphasized. Indeed, communicating it is potentially every bit as important to patriotic Americans as the recent "outing" of the liberal's human shield technique that Ann Coulter has been trumpeting.
To be specific, liberal's will ALWAYS adopt a position that requires their opponents to have knowledge they know the opponent doesn't have, and probably can't get, to prove the liberals are wrong.
The liberal focus is not on correctly understanding the current state of affairs, but on undermining oppostition to how they WANT the state of affairs to be understood.
Oh they will print it......and then go to great pains to try and prove that Zarqawi was mistaken.:)
FOX reported the document today. Rush and Hannity talked about it. How bout the rest of the drive by media are they reporting this docuement or hoping it goes away or claiming that it is "fake"?
pre war doc ping list?
It would be such a terrible thing if a Cruise Missle accidentally took out the Old York Times building.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Libs were wrong about Reagan and the cold war. They are just as wrong about Bush and the war on terror.
"......they may fulfill their promise to kill 4 million Americans. The enemy will probably target our big cities, which are filled with libs."
"........which are filled with libs."
Hmmmm.
It's so frustrating that the libs can't/won't realize hope for that.
There. Fixed it for ya.
Sec. Rumsfeld, who has been criticized and vilified by Democrats and ,sadly, by some Republicans in Congress and crucified by the liberal media, could be a military genius.
Problem is obviously the Democratic Propaganda Machine known as the MSM will not talk about this, as it greatly weakens their campaign, and the White House will be far too polite and demure about it, as has been their habit in the face of it being made obvious on a daily basis the Democrats see the President and his administration as their enemy above all else.
Of interest.
Thanks CU.
Peach, more documentation for your campaign.
Thanks for the ping.
Thanks for the ping to this; I'm going to update my list in a few days and put it on my bookmarks under my screen name.
I've also sent a lot of Congressmen, the WH and news organizations the translations done that Saddam coordinated with the Taliban in Afghanistan. I'd say Iraq is the right war at the right time and for the right reasons.
"I'd say Iraq is the right war at the right time and for the right reasons."
Which is exactly why the enemies of America, the left wind rats in Congress and America are against the war in Iraq.
Those voting for a time table had better be in Rat Safe Districts, or they might be looking for a new job come Jan 2007.
But not the libs that deserve to die!
HI! I want to do a Republic of Utica piece on Diana Irey. Thanks for the encouragement. Can you send me info about her? Send it to RepublicPraetor@aol.com, my current temporary email addy.
