Wonderful read, but Fumento is right--we're not hearing a word of this from MSM, and, I should add, Fox News.
“The city is slowly rebuilding and returning to life. Some report that it's now the safest city in the Sunni Triangle due to the heavy presence of Iraqi police and army. Every major intersection now has unarmed Iraqi police directing traffic in crisp short-sleeve button down shirts, white gloves, black flack vests, and dark blue pants. More frequently we’re responding to IEDs [improvised explosive devices] reported by local children, police and informants.
yes, Fox news has been quite disappointing lately. It really is moving into left field. Even Col Hunt and Cowan are wrongly pessimistic. These guys seem to be turning against the war. It is sad. Everything I read on the Iraqi blogs and FR give me great hope. It is a very difficult struggle but it is obvious the terrorists are LOSING. The main battlefield in the WOT is Iraq and the idiots in the MSM can't see that over time we are killing the terrorist scum. The MSM is so anti-Bush and anti-American -- they don't even try to hide their evil bias. The enemy within is currently more dangerous than the enemy overseas. The left is trying to destroy the support for this war. Even Fox is falling for the negative. I wish I had $2B, I would fund a real pro American, pro Liberty, pro Capitalist network.
