In the war that we’re winning:
Small children and women are fighting against us.
Sunni insurgents are using armor piercing bombs (which of course are based on ones from Iran — cough, cough) against our troops.
More Iraqis are fleeing the country than are returning according to the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees, contradicting the reports of the Iraqi government.
The refugees that are returning to Iraq aren’t doing so because the security situation in Iraq has improved, “but because they can no longer afford to live abroad.”
Fortunately, Muqtada al-Sadr is still telling his supporters in the Mahdi Army to observe the cease fire he unilaterally called last year, but it’s not clear how much longer he will keep his militia followers on a short leash since US forces keep attacking Shi’ites who support him.
People are still dying everyday from all the violence in Iraq.
3,950 American troops have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
And the “bad guys” in this war are the Democrats running for President.
.
… and still blaming misfortune on Iran.
(Sept. 2005) – Unbelievable! Just listened to BBC World radio on breaking news story, about jail break by UK forces in Basra. MoD spokesman tries to downplay effects with local authority. Mentions the possibility these two UK men were part of Special Ops unit, investigating the use by Al Sadr’s men of sophisticated devices used for bombs. These devices were provided through Iran.
Unbelievable spin on undercover operations by UK forces – illegal activities?
Negroponte hit squad – see REUTERS warning not to use the photos of these UK men.
BASRA (Dec. 2007) – Sweets instead of flowers and Iraqi forces instead of Bush’s Grand Coalition forces.
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."
OK! Nice to see this post Steven. every morning I check in with J Cole’s Informed Sources and Iraq Today to get at least some coverage of the latest horrors taking place in Iraq. The i check the “major media” sources and guess what? Not a effing peep! So, Bravo sir!
I tied to get info re the Cholera spread and NOTHING!
Now that’s another subject crying out for examination.
If you want another pretty good source for current happenings, try Mcclachy blogs. They are great.
Anyhow- THanks alot Steven. Just try and revisit this story from time to time. Someone has to.
Steven, Steven, Steven, you really don’t understand the Willard do you?
Last summer the Willard told us all his glorious sons were defending America by helping him get elected.
Well since he dropped out, (not cut and run, republicans never do that) he needed a new excuse for his sons remaining here and NOT joining the troops over there (perish that thought). Well what better way then to suddenly find out the democratic party were more dangerous to this country then the jihadis or insurgents over there?
That way his sons could stay home and fight the “good fight” while our troops do their “duty” over there.
That is pure Willard thought for us.
