Video: Our Progress In Iraq

Curious after looking at still graphics of where we are in Iraq via Gateway Pundit, I thought surely MNF-I would have something more compelling addressing the progress we have made. All I found was this all too quick animated GIF with the dates hard to view at bottom leaving no time to contemplate, or sense the accomplishment. I didn't find it compelling. While I wrote MNF-I for the raw images to work with on my own, I discovered I could grab them up and produce a still shot, as well as a YouTube video demonstrating consistent, if sometimes slow progress in Iraq over the last year and a half. I also included a quick text message for our Senators, currently contemplating a surrender when we are the strongest nation with the strongest military on the face of the Earth. That in and of itself makes surrender ridiculous. We elected these people to lead and to win, not quit because of some headlines.

The still shot comparing Iraq in Jan 06 to June 07 is directly below. The YouTube video is below that. It isn't great. But it conveyed the message a little better in my opinion. Perhaps you'll agree.

All I found was this all too quick animated GIF

I looped it and delayed the last frame.

It's better like this.

Thought this provides an interesting perspective......too bad the Senate isn't interested.

I'd send it to my Senators but they're blind, deaf, dumb, Blue and eighty-two.

And the biggest change that is coming is that Anbar Province, That big clear spot to the west should for the July edition of this gif at least show bright green if not the dark OD green.

That would be great. I'll see that news when you post it!
