I wonder how SotH Pelosi will reconcile this reality with her remarks that we have "failed" in Iraq?

I wonder if the diary had one of those little locks on it?

It of course won’t get much coverage in the MSM but it’s received surprisingly good internet coverage today.

They can regroup under Obama or Clinton.

"A scanned copy of the diary with names redacted with black ink was provided to The Washington Post on Saturday."

This means that I read the actual diary, here on FR, before the WAPO and MSNBC even got it. It is stunning that we can read the actual news, before the MSM gets to spin it.

[He provided details of what appears to be one of the ways his group financed its activities — buying and selling trucks and cars, which he called “spoils.”. .]

The definition of “spoils” in war is plunder or loot taken from the enemy. This leads me to distrust this translation or the POST’s version of anything else happening in Iraq.
