Vets for Freedom ad: Acknowledge our victory!
VFF focuses on one particular Democrat in their pursuit of recognition: Barack Obama. Even the New York Times
reports that the surge “clearly” has succeeded; why can’t Obama?……

I at first attempted to extract the stupid essence of the paragraph to more easily mock it, but the stupidity is so thoroughly infused throughout, and it mocks itself so well, I found I could not touch it! I can only stare at it in amazement.

Yeah I noticed that too. Good grief.

The arrival of the 30,000 extra soldiers, deployed to Baghdad’s neighborhoods around the clock, allowed the Americans to exploit a series of momentous events that had begun to unfold at roughly the same time: the splintering of Moktada al-Sadr’s militia, the Mahdi Army; the growing competence of the Iraqi Army; and most important, the about-face by leaders of the country’s Sunni minority, who suddenly stopped opposing the Americans and joined with them against Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia and other local extremist groups.

I at first attempted to extract the stupid essence of the paragraph to more easily mock it, but the stupidity is so thoroughly infused throughout, and it mocks itself so well, I found I could not touch it! I can only stare at it in amazement.

It’s like… a big, meaty plateful of stupid stew!

and most important, the about-face by leaders of the country’s Sunni minority

Okay, why would the Sunnis join us if we’re over there losing? As the minority they generally kinda have to go with the win side, don’t they? So, we go to win, and everyone follows our lead… amazing…

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back often….

“The only statement I think somebody in a position like this can responsibly make is that it obviously depends on the conditions and how much risk one is willing to take,” General Petraeus said, referring to the next president.”

…………… one might want to think of Gen. Petraeus’ words of warning when they vote for the next President of the United States.

“Commander” McCain………….. or the “Child” Obama?

What’s the headline tomorrow. “The Beatles Split”?

“Duke Rape Accuser Revealed as a Mentally Unbalanced Drunk Who Lied About Rape to Avoid Night in Drunk Tank”?

Nah, it’ll probably take another year or two for that one.

McCain had it right the other day. We all should question Obama’s judgement.

Not only he’s not fit to LEAD (via his judgement), I have question about his fitness for a US Senator.

It’s not the first time they’ve said it, but it’s refreshing to hear them admit it nonetheless: “The surge, clearly, has worked”……

Sooner or later, facts matter. Even to the brain-washed. You can try and out run it, but reality does catch up, sooner or later.

Welcome to planet Earth, liberals. Look around. You might like it.

NYT: “The surge, clearly, has worked”

Not according to Citizen of the World Obama.

Nah, Obama even admitted, finally, that the surge worked BUT… he’d still vote against it.

Go figure.

This confuses me. Now we are talking about “timetables” while at the same time we are saying that we need to stay for years.

Which is it?

Nobody has ever opposed timetables that were set by Iraqis. Only the ones set by Democrats in DC after a few too many hits on their bongs.

The timetables in question determine when combat forces will move from their positions within Iraqi cities back to large bases and then, in some time, out of the country altogether.

Again, these are combat forces. The Army Corps of Engineers, the Police Training Teams, and the Military Training Teams will probably be there for decades.

The fighting may end soon, but the training will go on for decades. The Iraqis still need to establish an air force and a navy.

Yes. And while the constant terror in Iraq maybe be less and less, it might not ever get down to a point of near zero. Iraq might continue to have to deal with this problem as is the case in Pakistan.

Obama: The surge failed

Reid: The war is lost

NY Times: The surge worked

Obama: I would vote against the surge again.
