Darkness
Is where your brain lives with regards to the situation in Iraq. Because that is where the MSM and Congress keep you.
Over a week ago I reported to you that we had kicked Al Qaeda out of their base in Iraq, the Al Anbar Province, and that they had begun a series of retaliatory bombings in and around Baghdad.
Neither of these facts were reported to you by the mainstream media. The bombings were reported, but completely without context, as if they were not a result of our stunning military victory in Al Anbar, but were just a sign that the surge “wasn’t working”. Despite the fact that the surge had just reclaimed substantial territorial control of half the country. Not only did Harry Reid fail to explain what was going on, but instead publicly declared that the bombings were a sign that nothing new was happening in Iraq and that we should therefor surrender.
Yesterday my report was confirmed by General Petraeus who declared our victories in Al Anbar as nothing less than “breathtaking progress”.
There is absolutely no reason to listen to anything the disconnected and deceitful “suits” of the American mainstream media and political world tell you about Iraq. You cannot trust it.
I’m travelling so posting’s been light up till now….stay tuned…much breaking….
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
I really don’t think it matters how much success our troops have. The Dumb-O-Crats are committed to defeat.
April 27th, 2007 at 1:50 pmMy son is a 1st LT platoon leader with the 82nd AIR at a small COB in al Kadamiyah in baghdad. I get to talk with him every 2 weeks or so and get updates from his wife,who he calls more often. This is his 2nd deployment and when he gets home in dec. it will be almost 18 mos. of hard duty. Does he complain,NO. Does he say we lost or are losing, NO. Does he want to surrender and admit defeat at the hands of cowardly insurgents who don’t have the balls to stand and fight, HELL NO. The only bitching we are hearing is from the democrats, liberals sob’s and the freaking media. I get sick when the news comes on. Thank God for your blogs and a few others I go to to get my solace. My wife gets freaked out when I see these ignorant assholes like Reid and Murtha and I start ranting and raving about what pieces of shit they are and how spineless. Keep up the good work ,if you go back to Iraq tell the soldiers there are alot of us behind them and if you need someone to help your team I will go with you, I am getting old but give me a few weeks I could get back into shape. My family still has our balls………………..
April 27th, 2007 at 3:13 pmHere’s a beer for you when you get back
April 27th, 2007 at 3:15 pmGod bless you son Roadking.. The fucking numb nuts who we put in office have NO regard for the military. They don’t give a rats ass about anything except living the cushy life they enjoy after they rip us off. I wanna puke, now where did I put that barf bag?
April 27th, 2007 at 3:29 pmHats off to Pat and the job he is doing for us all here back home. And to all of our men and women in uniform, we are behind you 110%. Give ‘em hell, troops!
April 27th, 2007 at 3:47 pmYes Pat:
Chucky Schumer D NY wasted no time making big deals about the bombing in Bagdad …as did Reid. The suits speak from podiums after digesting the very same shit average individual gets from MSM.
Conclusion - albeit a stretch for some - MSM is making policy
April 27th, 2007 at 4:00 pmHoly SHIT
Didn’t realize how real that is … the claim I made about MSM making policy till i read my own post
Holy SHIT
April 27th, 2007 at 4:03 pmJohn in PA - would that be what Kipp refers to as “being enlightened”? heh…
You are correct though. Very succinct.
April 27th, 2007 at 4:10 pmI hit submit too soon. A friend of mine once said, “I have heard so much about how corrupt Halliburton is that it MUST be true.”
The MSM is doing their job.
April 27th, 2007 at 4:12 pmDingy harry and the lib socialist dimwits won’t like this one. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/iraq/article1717571.ece
April 27th, 2007 at 4:48 pmI love our troops and wish them well. I hope they all come home safe and sound.
April 27th, 2007 at 5:10 pmOnce again, I sent the link to this article to some friends. Lots of them, actually. I wish you could see the looks on their faces when they read this stuff, Pat. It’s a cross between absolute shock and anger. “I never see this on MSNBC!” “How come we don’t know about these things?” And today, from a verrry liberal co-worker, “I’m hooked on this website.”
Keep ‘em coming. I’m so proud I can pass this stuff on and get the word out. Keep it moving!
April 27th, 2007 at 5:28 pmYes John in PA, the MSM has been running the show for quite some time but its not obvious for the very dense public to figure out.
April 27th, 2007 at 6:13 pmOld advertising “proverb”. Must feed it to the public 27 times before it is absorbed. So every night does it in a month, especially when “we” don’t refute anything. We are the silent majority. BTW, I like Dirty Harry and Bela Pelosi. Anyone else??
April 27th, 2007 at 6:17 pmmy son left today for his 2nd tour,, when he was there before he said that most of the sunnis in ramadi wanted the MARINES to stay and protect them fm the insurgents(another name for democrat)…and if u figure that all kurds(40% of iraq) begged us for all of the 90’s(go figure) to come and help them,,and that most all of the shias(another 40%)wanted us to help protect them fm reid,, i mean sadaam,,,this is in direct contrast to that lieing turn coat murtha,,,my son looked me in the eye and said “dad we are their only hope” when ur son says that it brings reality to the war,,,
April 27th, 2007 at 6:44 pmNah Dirty Harry was the “Good Guy” Harry is to Dingey, and I like Syriana Pelosi better.
April 27th, 2007 at 6:48 pmTheo-
April 27th, 2007 at 6:53 pmIt’s funny how much I nod my head when I read your posts. I cannot wait until you bring this stuff to mainsteam, Pat.
we captured ‘ole boy Abd al-Hadi, the saudis dropped the hammer on a 172 person terror plot, and we busted up a weapons/training network to and from iran. not bad for a deays work!
April 27th, 2007 at 7:14 pmWonder how much the US intelligence community isn’t telling us to protect current operatives and confidentiality. Yet the MSM and the Dims continue to pound the public ruthlessly with negative barrages of “failures” of the brave Iraqi and American Forces fighting these cowards! What happened to “all politics stops at the water’s edge”? Why are the Dim’s on the enemies side?
April 28th, 2007 at 4:34 amOnce I’m through commending you for this realistic presentation of what is really happening in Iraq, I will e-mail the website to everyone in my e-book. Many of the weak pols, most from my self-absorbed generation, only look for the 51% solution to issues. It’s not about what’s right and proper. It’s about how do I get re-elected. You are the modern day ‘300′. You stand at the 21st century ‘hot gates’. Only this time, I pray that your ‘Plytaia’ is also happening now. Be strong and believe that the majority of Americans will rally to and support the great endeavour, in which, you are currently engaged. God Speed!
April 28th, 2007 at 8:37 amTo our warriors sent afar to face the evil in lost souls, in the homeland we stand in spirit with you.
This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian:’
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.’
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember’d;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
……..
Godspeed
