Thanks Moe.

With the Internet and people able to produce videos and transcripts of the entire debate, it will be greatly amusing to watch the left try and backpedal on this one.

If I were more of a bastard, I have some relatives I’d be calling right now…

Just a great post.

then we were, at all times, winning.

I, will call them on it ALWAYS, from now on I will never let a democrat open their mouth about foreign policy without accusing them of being a reflexive Bush hater who wanted us to lose in Iraq. I will say it every time, I will be even more annoying than they were.
Every time.
forever.
And, loving it.

Due to the fact that the anti-war Democrats will never have to deal with the consequences of an Iraq war loss, they will not ever feel the need to admit the importance of an Iraq war win.

For instance, Barack Obama just the other day stated that he could not possibly have an idea what would have happened in Iraq had his plan been implemented instead of the surge. I happen to think John McCain illustrated perfectly what would have happened regarding retreating under fire, a massive Middle Eastern war, a safe haven for those who want to kill us, etc.

However, actually expecting them to realize and admit that this might have happened is not reasonable. As far as they are concerned, who is to say that had they gotten their way, all wouldn’t have gotten, better sooner in Iraq?

I’m just so happy that they didn’t get their chance to be proven wrong.

and the second coming was happening!

Wow.. the AP actually admits what I’ve known for over a year now, that the United States is WINNING the war against jihadists in Iraq.

Of course – in typical AP fashion – they still take their cheap shots at President Bush with the whole Mission Accomplished slogan. Funny how they still pretend that he wasn’t talking about the toppling of Sadaam’s regime, which was the mission to which the banner refered.

However, all’s well that ends well. Just knowing how utterly gut-wrenching it must have been for the AP publish a U.S. victory story makes me smile big time.

Yes MSM and Kerry/Obama Losercrats, I’m laughing AT YOU.

GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES MILITARY!

So 10 years from now will The Guardian credit Michael Moore and/or George Clooney with the existence of a free and democratic Iraq?

Than I agree with you 100%

However, this war was not won by conservatives, it was won by America.

That’s all. Just Amen.

Proper grammar saves lives.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

I am from Iowa. For over 20+ years I have been a straight party ticket Republican voter. I have been in field sales my entire life and have listened to Rush Limbaugh for the majority of my time in the car. I did not like the turn of the McCain camp the last three or so weeks. Back in late 07 McCain said he would never politicize the troops or the military during his campaign. He was walking a thin line for the last month and it bothered me enough to change my party affiliation from Republican to Democrat. Then today I heard his latest ad politicizing the troops overseas during Obama’s visit, that he was playing basketball instead of seeing the troops. Well, from what I understand he played basketball once, and that was in Kuwait with a gym full of military personnel not Berlin where McCain suggested in his ad. It is disgraceful. I feel much better being an independent at this time.

In principle Moe I agree with you & I suspect that much of this anti-war coalition will go down in history as a worthless group of naysayers & naive terrorist sympathizers. However, we shouldn’t assume Al-Qaeda and the Iranian government will stop trying to undermine the Iraq operation. They may indeed try some spectacular attacks just prior to this November’s election in order to help elect Obama.

“Red Fred,” by the way, is the nickname for the person in a wargame who strategizes on behalf of the opposing force. As the Communists were the “opposing force” for most Americans (Ivy League faculty excepted), we associated “red” with the enemy.

(Come to think of it, maybe that’s why the MSM chose to color Republicans “red” in the first place. Maybe they see us as the enemy. Anyhoo…)

Red Fred would probably make the following recommendations to the Dems and MSM elite:

1) Continue to ignore Iraq. Douse the success there with silence.

2) Look for ways to confuse the discussion. Cite McCain’s statements today, for example, that show some support for a 16-month time window on withdrawal from Iraq as evidence that he and Obama really are pretty much on the same page.

If that’s not accurate—so what? Will the MSM make a big deal of it? Hardly—they want Obama to win. So, the Obama campaign can risk floating half-truths or misleading statements about its position on Iraq. For the most part, the MSM will stay silent, or only object on page A27, in an article underneath the Crazy Eddie Labor Day sales ads.

I think the MSM and Obama campaign will try to douse the Iraq issue by moving on from it. Will the MSM let them? Possibly so. They might want Iraq to recede from the public consciousness. Otherwise, the public, now more aware of the successes we’ve achieved in Iraq, have the opportunity to reflect on how much the MSM’s past coverage of events in Iraq turned out to be wrong.

Best to just drop the whole matter, eh?

Thank GOD!

Limited, sometimes sharp fighting and periodic terrorist bombings in Iraq are likely to continue, possibly for years.

TRANSLATION: Do not expect to hear a word from us out of Iraq for weeks, sometimes months at a time. Then, if there is a spectacular bombing, or a large enough number of people killed, you can expect us to saturate the MSM will reports of carnage and death — all the while wringing our hands about the “seeming” lack of progress toward peace in that “war-torn” country and region.

They never admit their mistakes.

The MSM will do nothing to shed light on the fact that the wicked NeoCons were right all along.

Rumsfeld is trashed without regard for the overwhelming victory that rolled up Iraq forces in three weeks.

Mistakes and miscalculations were made by our leaders, but there were also events beyond our control such as the Turks not allowing the 4th ID to traverse their country in order to establish a northern front and the classic hammer and anvil.

The Left in this country refuses to acknowledge that mistakes and miscalculations occur in all wars. The Peninsula Campaign during the Civil War is one example. The aftermath of almost every major battle during that war saw wasted opportunities for total victory.

There is no substitute for victory.

Ho Chi Minh and the NV Communists understood this and saw the large casualties they were sure to endure as secondary to victory. They saw the US as an enemy that would eventually be vanquished because of our desire to substitute political will with attempts at negotiations.

Today’s enemies see that their only chance at success is for history to repeat itself with a fresh crop of useful idiots emerging that will undermine American ideals and American will.

We know all the chickenhawk arguments, etc. These should be recognized as attempts to demoralize by people who deserve be shunned.

We have a long way to go and we should be prepared to engage and to oppose the enemy within as well as the enemy without that seeks our destruction.

Thanks, Moe for your loyalty and for all those others who remain true to this just cause.

Now that one in every 6 Iraqis is either dead or in Syria, and we have walled the rest in. We are paying people cash not to shoot at us. We allowed them to have elections, and those elected officials want us out. Thats quite a victory. Have we rebuilt all the infrastructure that we destroyed to get this victory, and win over so many Iraqi hearts? Why did we go in there?

OK we won, now can we slit Bin Ladens throat?

6 Iraqis is either dead or in Syria…”? Link to “fact” is required.

OOps my bad, it is one in five! Thats not counting the dead civilians, The second link gives a feel for that much debated number.

Then I went to the “About Us” link and looked that one over. Why does it not surprise me that this kind of organization lists people like “Matt Dillon-actor” as one of their board members. And, lo and behold, George Soros is an emeritus director.

CNN? Puhleeze. Your side doesn’t give credence to Fox, our side expects nothing but lib talking points from CNN.

Fail.

This site has all the facts, that is why I like to visit! Have a nice Sunday.

Know how I knew when we won the war? Not only during the last two years when EVERY WEEK I compile a report for the Joint Chiefs on the situation in Iraq.

I knew we won the war when there were ZERO Code Pink or anti-war idiots at the July 4 Washington DC parade.

All day long, not a single Obama or anti-war type. In the previous years there had always been at least 50 of them in different parts of the parade route chanting and demonstrating.

This year- not one…

You guys got something against years?

As a Vietnam vet, I was both saddened and disgusted at the way in which Dems politicized the war.

Dems “said” they supported the troops, but you can’t support the troops without supporting their MISSION.

Senator Barack Obama voted to cut off spending for the troops. Hell, he wouldn’t even join the Senate vote to condemn the despicable “General Betray Us” ad from MoveOn.

Our men and women in uniform performed magnificently under extreme conditions.

They are all heroes.
