[...] didn’t note it at the time (at least I don’t think I did), but the UN says it can no longer ignore the progress made in Iraq. “We cannot ignore the recent improvements both [...]

That’s quite the confession…

“We cannot ignore…”

If that doesn’t sum things up nicely.

Dems scrambling madly to spin this in their favor somehow. Anyhow.

Lying seem to be their first choice.

And only.

Give the military a job to do and then get out of the way. Oh hold on a second they are getting it done even with those idiots in washington getting in the way. Sorry harry and nancy but you have lost your petty little war against those who know better.

“We can not ignore the recent improvements”
Just ask Nancy and Harry. They can give you some advise on how to ignore it. If not rewritten by the Dems, history will show how placing their adgenda over the progress of the war on terror, has indeed caused blood to be spilled and lives to be taken. In my eyes, I hold those, so called leaders, responsible.

Now if only the Democrats who want to be president would acknowledge the new reality.
Oh they will acknowledge, as soon as they get into office! They will claim the victory for themselves!

Global warming? Did you see the Packers/Giants game yesterday?

It was the 3rd coldest playoff game in NFL history. It could’ve been THE coldest except for… global warming!

It`s like having small Christmas mornings when I hear news like this.Let`s hope they keep coming.

Harry Reid did comment, I believe it was, “LALALALALALALALALALA- I-CAN`T-HEAR-YOU!”

Even though the UN is “almost telling the truth” for a change, its building in New York City should still be converted to condos and the entire concept of the UN be moved to Iran. The UN has not been beneficial to the U.S. for many years and is now forcing global warming on us. Global warming is nothing more than “Al Gore’s revenge.” Global warming? Did you see the Packers/Giants game yesterday?

Amazing what can be accomplished when you remove UN personnel, eliminate a corrupt UN program (oil for food) and basically bully your way through the UN beaurocracy (keep forcing security council resolutions)….

War….it’s still a highly effective way to acheive peace.

The defeatocrats are trying to take credit by saying the 06 elections scared the Iraqis in to behaving because they knew the Dims would pull our troops out. What a bunch of clowns.

30,000 Pounds of Mayhem Dropped on al Qaeda Hideou…

Michael Moore’s freedom fighters took quite a beating today as the U.S. Air Force rained down 30,000 pounds of bombs on the human debris known as al Qaeda.

This comes 11 days after we whacked them with 40,000 pounds in northern Iraq….

In my opinion….Why would the U.N. make this statement now? Who is taking alot of credit for the “New Course” in Iraq and also would not hesitate to give up just a little our sovereignty for U.N. interests? You get 3 guesses….. and the first two don’t count. I’m sure he put them up to this!

OH MY GAWD!

This …

the paultard, has already called the success of the Surge “Propaganda”

The newfound security has been achieved in spite of the surge. That’s what Chuck Shumer told me!

(sarcasm, of course)

the democrats or their voters rather, are too emotionally invested to wish for anything other than withdrawal no matter what. many of them are walking around with “Save Darfur” t-shirts on.

What they don’t realize is that some of their own complaints about Iraq would be applicable toward any intervention in Darfur. For example Sudan has never attacked the U.S. or its interests. (Instead, the U.S. has attacked a chemical plant in Sudan.)

That’s what we SHOULD be doing! The White house oughta be on the TV everyday saying “Look at this progress! Look at the victory in this battle!” But we’re making the same mistake we made in the 70’s letting the enemy propagate while we stay quit. THAT’S why people think we LOST Vietnam, because of communist propaganda. The islamo-enemy has been trying to claim victory but even THEY know they’ve lost! Yet the left believes WE’VE lost!
