Comments on: Bush Wins Again https://pat-dollard.com/2007/09/07/bush-wins-again/ Eventually, I learned the joys of killing. But I’m skipping ahead of myself. I landed in Iraq in November 2004 armed with a video camera instead of a weapon...

The CIC walked around and took pics with quite a few of the troops. And why not? Wouldn't it be cool, when these young troops are in their 40's and 50's to be able to show their kids and grandkids a pic of them posing with the CIC? It doesn't get any better than that. It will be the highlight of their career for many. I watched the speech on TV. The CIC walked around and took pics with quite a few of the troops. And why not?

What was desired all along is the Iraqis step forward and help with security then take responsibility for their own security -- This is the policy change that has worked in Iraq. Back this up with U.S. knowledge and firepower, the momentum is now on our side. It is ironic that the outcome that was desired all along is now derided by Democrats, amazing. The Iraq civilian government, even with their near total political stasis, will follow -- Hopefully sooner than later, because the Iraqi people will soon demand it. I would also like to give a big tip of the stetson to web sites like this one who have done wonders in getting the truth out to the public. Congrats Pat, well done. Truth will win.

It is working better than even he thought would happen. The results are being duplicated elsewhere...and the only areas that seem to be holding out are the Shia areas controlled by the Shia mafias. And it looks like the Iraqi MP's are tired of Maliki. An Iraqi government that is religiously neutral in it's governance might not be too far away sans Al-Maliki. This could be great news in a couple of months. Then we and the Iraqis can destroy the Persian Shia militias and get everyone on board a fair and representative Iraqi government. That would be a stunning achievement.Also real bad news for the slumber party. A drink to the men and women in our military and to the Field Commander that leads them: Gen Petraeous. :beer: And hats off to the CIC that hung tough and continues to throw shit in the faces of the white flag wavers. :mrgreen: Gotta admire Petraeous’s strategy.

Did this fuckwad even think how much of a douchebag this makes him sound like? How about thinking hey this might be a good thing? Wow for the United States to win a war might be good wow what an original fucking thought. Stick that one in your pipe and smoke it.

Whenever Bush is involved they have to go totally deranged and negative, even if it involves effectively protecting the USA and providing an opportunity for Freedom to 50 million people in Iraq and Afghanistan. Wonder who they will blame in early 09 when the new leaders maintain the existing path, which is the only acceptable way forward - imho The libs are hit with a bad case of BDS - Bush Derangement Syndrome.

My son is in his 14th month looking at 2 more before he gets to come home and would love a pic or two also. Funny how the Hobbits get the pics and the USO shows and minority of the troops get to actually fight this war. Guess the largest part of the Military is the support team,but I am just saying the one's in the feild would like some extra bennie's too. So CIC ,on Nov. 11th the 1-325 82nd is having thier welcome home, so how about coming so they can have some pics too!

The Ds have always operated from the assumption that progress in Iraq is impossible, not worth it, and a dangerous validation of the American Way. So the demand/request for more security wasn't serious, it was just an assumed way to rub pro-liberationists' faces in their failure. So their reaction to success is a weird mixture of disbelief, outrage, and frustration. Looks good on 'em. bill-tb;
