Because they haven’t figured it out, and like I said in another post they expect us to make the same mistakes they made

a gesture that appeased the antiwar crowd but sent a message of retreat and surrender to the brave men and women fighting

While Democrats are pandeering, brave men and women are entering and winning the most dangerous battles in the world,
EXAMPLE FOR DEMOCRATS(yes, shouting at them is necessary);

25th Combat Aviation Brigade helicopters kicked off the operation early Thursday morning with Soldiers from Company B, 5-73 Cav. conducting an air assault into the objective areas. Throughout the operation, Soldiers identified numerous gunmen moving along the palm groves and water canals attempting to escape.

An al-Qaida safe house was also identified with gunmen moving in and out of the building. 25th CAB attack helicopters engaged and killed the gunmen fleeing the area along canals and palm groves, and helped destroy the safe house with Hellfire missiles.

“The success of this operation would not have been possible without the people of these villages who are now turning against al-Qaida,” Sutherland said. “More and more, the people and tribes are becoming disgusted and disillusioned with what al-Qaida offers. They are forming local resistance groups to guard their neighborhoods and deny the enemy any freedom of movement.”

The caches consisted of small-arms munitions, mortars, improvised explosive device making material and other enemy propaganda.

“This … not only shows that the people are determined to defeat AQIZ, but it is also proof that the people are gaining confidence in the Iraqi and Coalition Forces to provide them a safe and secure environment,” Sutherland added.

Why not put up the whole story?

Iraqi Army and Coalition Forces, using tips from local citizens, targeted al-Qaida operatives outside Diyala’s provincial capital July 11, in a continued effort to deny any safe-haven to the terrorist group.

Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 5th Iraqi Army Division, and 5th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, conducted Operation Ithaca, targeting al-Qaida operatives near the villages of Haimer, Abu Nasim, and Jamil, Iraq, resulting in 29 al-Qaida gunmen killed, 23 detained, eight hostages released, two weapons caches discovered and a safe house destroyed.

“This operation was vital as we continue to deny al-Qaida freedom of movement and space,” said Col. David W. Sutherland, 3-1 Cav. commander. “In Diyala, the enemy has no safe haven; and our forces are committed to aid the Iraqi Security Forces in their fight to provide a safe and secure environment for the people.”

Then your part begins...
And then the last sentence...

While patrolling the Abu Tauma village, eight hostages, who previously suffered severe beatings and lashings, were freed and transferred to a Coalition medical facility for treatment.

Here's something interesting I found related to the raid article you posted while looking into the American troops can leave “any time they want statement...
Iraqi PM: U.S. can leave ‘any time’
He also criticized U.S. overtures to Sunni groups in Anbar and Diyalah provinces, encouraging former insurgents to join the fight against al-Qaida in Iraq. “These are gangs of killers,” he said. (Hassan al-Suneid)

Most Democrat supporters have a very short attention span, and the link is there for the Democrat supporters other 1%.

Because the story is already up. It's not the exact same story, but it is by the AP, the same as the one I linked to, and there's no need to waste the bandwidth.
I didn't see your story posted.

COWARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to Daily KOZ. They have an ad saying that we could pay for everyone to be insured for healthcare if we get out of Iraq.

Sure, we could have save a boatload of cash by not responding to the Pearl Harbor attack and letting the Brits and French be conquered by Nazi Germany too.

it seems they defend and root for everyone except Americans that try to defend the rights/freedom/safety & security of all Americans including these stupid lib/dems!!!

Not just in wars but in law and everything else too. You hear the left cry about Wire Tapping and terrorist watch list banning people from flying or being searched because they have the same name as someone who is on the watch list. You hear them say rights are being violated. But they don't say a word about the gun laws and the terrorist watch list. People can be erroneously placed on the terrorist watch list and that would infringe their right to bear arms. Where is the left concern for gun owners? You won't hear the left cry about that.

I think the left won't support America because they are socialist/communist. They sympathized immensely with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. They bit into the commie propaganda spewed during the Cold War too.

I also think that McCarthy was right.

I believe the commie goal was to take over College and Universities, our media, as many Judges on the bench as they can, a political Party, and Hollywood. I believe they have achieved levels of success in all the above areas.

This may sound crazy, but when I look at it, that is what I see.

Just because something happened in the past doesn't mean that the same thing is going to happen in the future.

Not much of a history buff are you?

It keeps them over there and gets us out of the way. Let 'em kill each other is my outlook now.

In case you haven't noticed they're doing BOTH in Baghdad; killing Coalition soldiers and their cult brethren. Our leaving won't change anything. They'll continue killing their cult brethren, then they'll return here to try to finish the job their brothers started on 9/11.

Not much of a guesser are you?
Are you a prognosticator as well that you know the terrorists will take over or is that a guess as well?

Uhmmmm...Wouldn't the "killing our soldiers" part change?
They'll continue killing their cult brethren, then they'll return here to try to finish the job their brothers started on 9/11.
The job they started was to bring down the Twin Towers. You do remember them trying to do that in '93 and failing, don't you? They already finished the job their brothers started.
Just what other job do you think they'll try to finish? Destroying "the Great Satan"? Awful tall order if so.
