New Citizens Report on Iraq Makes Case for Victory

US Newswire ^ | Tuesday, January 30, 2007 | Kristinn

A new report on Iraq was released today that covers many subjects not touched on by the Iraq Study Group. Titled Citizens Report on Iraq: Attainable Victory vs. the Propaganda of Defeat, the report was conceived, researched and authored by independent citizens with experience in Iraq who are concerned that the American people and politicians are ill-informed about the situation in Iraq.

The 86-page report is available for download at the Free Republic website:

Citizens Report on Iraq

In the Citizens Report on Iraq, readers will learn that progress is being made in Iraq; there are large areas of Iraq that are safe and prospering; that the enemy is being killed and wounded in astounding proportion to American casualties; that the reporting on Iraq by the dominant media is universally despised as inaccurate and misleading by those fighting for Free Iraq -- Americans and Iraqis alike; that the so-called antiwar movement, including the organizers of this past weekend's protest in Washington, is led by terrorist supporting Marxists as part of a global alliance seeking America's defeat in the Global War on Terror and that a prominent White House correspondent has allied herself with one of these groups.

The report includes frank interviews with dozens of Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans, their families and several Gold Star parents. Those who think their support for President Bush and victory in Iraq has waned will be sorely disappointed.

The report also includes an overview of captured Saddam Hussein eraIraqi government documents that demonstrate Saddam's commitment to international terrorism and research in to Weapons of Mass Destruction, including nuclear weapons.

Contributors include a history professor, an American contractor who has spent the past three years in Iraq, an Iraqi living in Baghdad, and numerous soldiers who spoke frankly on condition of anonymity.

The information in the report was gathered from original research andinterviews, publicly available government reports, blog entries, news articles and transcripts.

Thanks to Leo Flood for editing and formatting, and to Jim for allowing the report to be hosted on FR.

The report took almost two months to complete. However, there are a few typos to be found. I spotted a couple this morning I missed previously. They'll be corrected sometime soon.

The report is not meant to be the last word on the situation in Iraq. It is meant to add information to the debate so that the American people are better informed.

No,no, no. Don't you relaize that wisdom comes from people who are all over 60 years old, have no recent military experience, and spent less than a day in Iraq, prefereably staying inside the green zone.

The Iraq Surrender Group proved it.

Thank you all for your efforts. This will be a breath of fresh air. I can't wait until it makes it to the news outlets. My gratitude to all of you.

For all who contributed to this report and especially to our beloved Allegra, a heartfelt thankyou is in order.

I often butt heads here with those who think the Iraq situation is a hopeless quagmire, eventhough several here post countless articles about what is really going on there and how well our Military is performing in an extremely complicated mission.

Kudos to Michelle.

I have faith in what our troops are doing. If this war is lost (and it could be), it will be lost by congress, not by our troops. Did we err in some areas? I don't see how we could not have. Nevertheless, the good outweighs the errors--just read SandRat's articles for a little perspective. It really does help when you're deluged with media negativity.

Wow! She is fast!
