In the Military Alphabet, AWR is Alpha Whiskey Romeo. In Iraq today, it’s a code term of American soldiers. Whenever they use “AWR” or “Alpha Whiskey Romeo” in their communications, everyone knows what it really stands for: Allah’s Waiting Room. That’s what our soldiers have turned Iraq into for the terrorists, and that’s why our soldiers know they are winning this war.
That’s also why our soldiers have more contempt for MSM journalists and Democrat politicians than the Jihadi terrorists — for at least the terrorists are honest about being an enemy, instead of pretending they’re on your side while stabbing you in the back.
The Democrat distortion of the War in Iraq has become flat-out deranged. Yet for all the “alternate media’s” attempts to tell the truth, Johnny and Suzie Lunchbucket still get most of their news through the MSM, which is why a majority of the Lunchbuckets, according to polls, believe “Bush lied” to get us into the war, and that it is a war we are losing.
Both are lies, which any Democrat on Capitol Hill privy to basic intel reports knows, yet the Big Lie is a proven propaganda tool, and it’s working on the American public right now.
But not among our guys on the ground in Iraq. Let’s start with two basic ways they are winning.
First is snipers. Marine snipers. Navy SEAL snipers. Army Ranger snipers. There are lots and lots of them in Iraq, they are unbelievably good at their work, which they do quietly, efficiently, and all by themselves with no press coverage. They are taking out Jihadis one by one, a silent pop from nowhere and goodbye, all over Iraq.
One single Marine sniper currently on his third tour has personally racked up well over a hundred confirmed kills. The total number of Jihadis taken down by snipers is classified, but it’s certainly many thousands by now.
Second is the fifty battalions of Iraqi soldiers who are completing their training and will soon be loosed upon the Jihadis. These folks are fighting for their own country and will be ruthless in doing so. Couple this with the increasingly good intel from Iraqis on the street, Sunnis and Shias, who are cooperating with Coalition Forces and the emerging Iraqi military because they are totally fed up with the Jihadis.
As the evidence mounts that the Jihadis are losing in Iraq, the more desperate the Democrats’ and the media’s attempts to suppress and deny the evidence.
So I thought I would provide you with some direct evidence of how things are really going in Mesopotamia. This is an unvarnished, personal SitRep — situation report — from a Marine who just spent seven months at “Camp Blue Diamond” near Ramadi, Iraq, deep in Apache country.
We’ll call him Jay. What follows is notes taken by his father while at home on leave. It’s an assessment, negative and positive, of the tactics, weapons, equipment, and overall situation of both the good guys and the bad guys. It is both chilling and thrilling.
Particularly his “Bottom Line” conclusion. The heroism of American soldiers like Jay makes an astounding contrast to the refusal of the American media to tell the truth about them. Jay has re-enlisted for another four years in the Marines and will be returning for a second tour in Iraq this coming January. He says he can hardly wait.

Great post. Even the young soldiers and civilians recognize the enemy within. Sadly, stuck on stupid, is becoming the norm for the sniveling liberals and the majority of demorats.
What this means is that Hitlery and the Dims will have to find a way to disenfranchise the military once again in order to win in '08.
I'd suggest that the MSM have been mortally wounded lately and hopefully that will make the difference in the outcome compared to VN in the 70s.

Especially ones whose tour of duty in Iraq is up. What are they going to do when you get home and call the media liars? Take your GI bill away? Let them try!
Nobody would have more influence in American culture than a young angry man calling the media a bunch of liars to their faces. They would have to cover it. As much as they would try to cover it up, they would have to cover it. It would be too newsworthy to ignore.
C'mon Joe, where are you? Get in their faces! Let them know!
Bump for a great read!
There's a special place in Hell for the members of the MSM and politicians and America-haters who undermine the efforts of our brave troops. It's gonna be filled wall-to-wall, too.

You can choose branch of military, country, then individual. I just found the site yesterday. I chose the Army then clicked on Afghanistan. Read Mike Glover's request. Besides snacks, etc., he asks for T-shirts and sweats for the guys they train. Even requests snacks and doggie toys for their security dogs. He includes pictures. Heartwarming.............
This is a GREAT article!!!!!!
Thanks for posting it.
PING
I think you and those on your ping list will enjoy reading this.
"We are winning in Iraq -- great article" -PING
There's a special corner of Hell reserved for al-Zarqawi too, let's just hope the rumors that he recently arrived prove to be true.
We really needed this right about now. :)
Thank you for this.
God Bless all American and Coalition forces.
"NEVER Forget."
Is it true photos of Helen Thomas, Whoopi Goldberg, Nancy Pelosi, Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore are hanging on the walls of Allah's Waiting Room?
They will continue to harp on American casualties and praising the enemy.
We should make everyone in Congress, including staffers read this:
"It is widely viewed that Zarqawi’s use of suicide bombers against the civilian population was a serious tactical mistake. Many Iraqis were galvanized and the caliber of recruits in the Army and the police forces went up, along with their motivation. It also led to an exponential increase in good intel because the Iraqis are sick of the insurgent attacks against civilians. The Kurds are solidly pro-American and fearless fighters.
Morale among our guys is very high. We not only believe we are winning, but that we are winning decisively.
Our guys are stunned and dismayed by what they see in the American press, whom they almost universally view as against them. The embedded reporters are despised and distrusted. We are inflicting casualties at a rate of 25-1 and then see garbage like “Are we losing in Iraq?” on TV and the print media."
