The numbers are impressive and according to 2 intelligence agencies, the most accurate. The MSM that have been faking the numbers won’t like that one but they’ll still have their bamboozled followers.

Tell your son.. Thank you for his service.

Our military are the best. They fight daily for fools like the dims who want us to leave Iraq with a loss. OBL is on the side of the dims. They care nothing about our troops it is clear with their actions and words.

SandRat has recently posted that the Iraqi Army is finding a lot of these big caches. Which to me would mean that they are finally deciding to really do their job. They aren’t ignoring or helping to hide the weapons caches.

You know what is so funny? The moonbats claim the president is so stupid that he has to have someone to write his speeches, but yet they claim he wrote the speech for General Petraeus

“I think all of this is going to back fire on the left!!!”

It should...but the media will probably run interference for the dems...(rolling eyes).

Charts are on large poster-board. Not sure they’ll be available on the web.

BTW, don’t know if it is at all related, but the Dow Jones Industrials just went positive for the first time today after opening very weak this morning.

We’ve detained, destroyed, and neutralized al-Qaida cells and leaders, thrown the terrorists off balance...see Harry, we ARE winning the war!

But inevitably he’ll come up with some skewered reason as to why we’re losing...
