Comments on: 101st Drops Iron Hammer On Al Qaeda https://pat-dollard.com/2007/11/25/101st-drops-iron-hammer-on-al-qaeda/ 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...

I think it was almost a year ago they came up with that 65% Iraqis want us dead. Same tired, old, dead talking points, defeatocrats are stuck in a rut. I wonder what the results would be if they asked Iraqis that same question today? I understand they'd like it when we leave, but, they feel we're not all about that cut and run. We don't want you dead, it'll be nice when you're gone, but, don't go too far. Can we interest you in some nice over the horizon desert property? Mike, did you hear him on ABC this morning?

I do fear it's going to work--the majority of voters don't take the time to get info to refute the spin they are being fed. The bad guys have control of the airwaves.

On one hand it is discouraging, however, I also hope they will wake up to reality eventually. When and, God willing, if they do they will be overcome by what they learn and see. I just hope their awakening does not require another massive tragedy here at home to do so. God bless our Armed Forces everywhere.

Ask just one question and the answer is the same: Question: Do you want the Americans to leave Iraq? Answer is always the same: "Yes but not yet." Security is the #1 concern of Iraqis. Nothing else matters until this is achieved first. Kids in Iraq don't need chocolate and soccer balls. They need their parents to stay alive. Iraqis want jobs and a future. But none of these things are remotely possible without security. We are winning this battle one city, one province at a time. Currahee indeed. Find em; fix em and kill em. AQ is good at killing women and children, but they'll eat dirt when they come up against the 101st. More than one poll has been conducted inside Iraq.

Nothing else matters until this is achieved first. I agree. But right in behind that is that Iraqis want to be on the winning side for a change. It's a big pyschological element where they want to be on the winning side and not be humiliated by backing a loser. Before Gen. Petraeus opened up a can of whoop-ass on the bad guys, the peaceful Iraqis couldn't see who was going to win and they backed only those who threatened their lives. They can see they now can't get security from AQ and they can see now that the U.S. and coalition forces truly want to win since the effort to win has picked up dramarucally. The tide has turned. >> Security is the #1 concern of Iraqis. Nothing else matters until this is achieved first.
