Iraq On Track
IBD ^ | December 26, 2007

Posted on 12/26/2007 5:52:43 PM PST by Kaslin

Victory In Iraq: A top al-Qaida strategist killed, a carful of terrorists blasted by a U.S. copter and Democrat presidential hopefuls suddenly clammed up on Iraq. What's next, major political progress in Baghdad? Exactly.


In an announcement the day after Christmas, the U.S. military confirmed that the militant killed with an associate in an operation near the town of Samarra, north of Baghdad, on Nov. 8 was Abu Abdullah, alias Muhammad Sulayman Shunaythir al-Zubai.

A high-level leader within al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI), Abdullah was described by the military as "an experienced bomb maker and attack planner who coordinated attacks on coalition forces over the past three years."

Last Sunday, meanwhile, after receiving a tip on location and movement from local Iraqis, a U.S. Apache helicopter used Hellfire missiles to send six AQI operatives to their eternal reward.

One of them was believed to be a cell leader who organized suicide bombings and attacked coalition forces on Thanksgiving. A video released by the military shows the choppers destroying the black sedan as Army communications are heard in the background.

Maj. Dave Fivecoat, an operations officer for the 3rd Infantry Division, told Fox News it was "an example of two surge brigades sharing information faster than the insurgents can react."

Though I may disagree with President Bush on some of his domestic policies, he alone deserves the credit for keeping us on course in Iraq. I spite of years of withering daily criticism of his Iraq policies by the MSM, Dimocraps and some RINOs in Congress, retired Generals, pinhead “anchors”, etc., Iraq may well be proof that the mideast might become a peaceful place - though that may take several generations to come to fruition. This, in spite of hundreds of years and numerous attempts over the generations to pacify the area.
Real leadership is hardly recognized anymore because we destroy anyone who may show potential. Yet, President Bush withstood the test on name calling, demonizing and abandonment by many in his own party.
History will be very kind to George W.

Once victory in Iraq is assured (and we should all pray it comes before Nov. 08), the greatness of GW Bush will be realized.
