After Zarqawi: They're Losing

We're winning.

Yeah, the good guys. Our troops. And the Iraqi army. We're winning. We were winning big even before we nailed Zarqawi. The terrorists themselves said so. In their state-of-the-troubled-union message to themselves.

According to al Qaeda in Iraq, critics of "stay the course" need to stick it where the sun don't shine: One key captured document states that "time is beginning to be of service to the American forces."

Now I can't wait to see how the shady Gray Lady spins the truth the terrorists told each other.

Let's see...

I wish I could remember the screen names of all the FReepers who have gone after me for saying that very same thing over the past several months.

The ones who take what the media feeds them and dutifully ask for more. The ones who told me I didn't know what I was talking about because I'm too optimistic, blah, blah, blah.

Oh, how I wish I had bothered to remember who all these losers are so I could ping them to this.

Well, I bet they don't say, "It's Bush's fault!"

Shalom.

[ican'tbelieveit]

Amen.

First, this freeper would like to thank you for your service, both abroad and on FR!! I enjoy reading your very insightful, first hand reports and posts.

IMHO, you probably won't be seeing too many of the "Iraq = quagmire, so-let's-cut-and-run" bunch, unless they want to post the "unconfirmed documents" arguement.

Thanks again !!

[freema]

Can't help you there. I only bothered to remember those who said Marines probably massacred Iraqis.

Now I can't wait to see how the shady Gray Lady spins the truth the terrorists told each other.

They'll suggest that the Al-Q's have Joshua Steiner syndrome, and were lying to their own diaries.

Time Time Time is on our side...Yes it is!

Well, I'm glad to not be one of those on that list.
I always trust you.

"Yeah, the good guys. Our troops. And the Iraqi army. We're winning. We were winning big even before we nailed Zarqawi " How true! The only one's with open hearts ,eye's and minds are true Conservatives here on Freep and other Conservative sites. I heard on CBS radio news that Iraq southern area will soon be taken over completely by Iraqi troops and police so that the British and Japanese forces can move elsewhere for further support elsewhere. Have you?

[Allegra]

Thanks.

One of my favorite ones from this year was a Freeper who responded to one of my posts where I was refuting the media's lies with something like:

"You obviously have never been to the Middle East or you would know that democracy in an Islamic country simply cannot be achieved."

I laughed so hard at that one that I had tears rolling down my cheeks.

Then there was the one last year who told me my "vision is skewed" because I'm in Iraq. You know, as opposed to getting that real good, solid information off the nightly news on TV and all. I had a good laugh off of that one as well.

I haven't heard anything substantial on that, but there could actually be some truth there. (Hey, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.)

The Iraqi troops are taking over more and more of their defense responsibilities (which is good news, since they were trained by the U.S. and it means an objective is being achieved, but I'm sure See-Bee-Ess doesn't quite present it that way) and more coalition troop strength is required in areas like Baghdad and Ramadi where they've got big operations underway to get these areas cleaned out and under control.
