SHHHHH. Obama doesn’t know this yet. Wouldn’t he look great in his Commander in Chief uniform? Obama’s self designed uniform…. Maybe he could borrow one from Fidel.

say Thank God the Father Almighty.

And for all those who never returned from Anbar I pray,

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. May their soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace. Amen.

[...] Ed Morrissey: The growth of trained, professional security and police forces gives Iraq its ability to control its own area. The surge gave the US and Baghdad breathing room while these security forces reached a state of readiness that allow them to handle this mission. Nouri al-Maliki’s missions in militia-held areas like Basra this year were a coming-out party for the Iraqi Army, and not too many people doubt their abilities now — including the terrorist stragglers remaining in Anbar and Diyala.

Honestly this kind of news makes me so proud of our military that it brings tears to my eyes. One of my dear friends lost his son-in-law in Anbar back in 2007 but he was a dedicated Marine who volunteered to go back on his 2nd tour early because he believed so much in what he was doing there. I'm sure he's got a great big grin on his face today. And I'll take his opportunity for a gratuitous link to the video I made a year ago about those Pretend Patriots who tried everything they could to prevent our brave HEROES from this day!

Static:

You are the best of Americans, doing the best of things Americans do: engaging in that perfectly American ambition to liberate the oppressed, protect the weak, and spread the blessings of liberty to all mankind.

Be well, my friend. You will be in our hearts and on our minds.

My son was a platoon leader in Anbar. He had a rough tour. He lost three of his men in Ramadi, and he had a lot of close calls. He was decorated with a Bronze Star.

He is back in Iraq for a second tour. I only hope he know how proud we are of him and all his brothers and sisters in uniform. This is their achievement.

God Bless the U.S.A.

Anbar becomes the 11th province of 18 to transfer to Iraqi control …

To be a little more clear, the other 7 are in transition and are under partial control of the Iraqis, “Yellow” on the map. Anbar is now “Green” on the map and there are NO MORE “Red” provinces left.

Hey, be careful over there Static! … Hmmmm, “Static”, you must be a Radio Op! haha :-)

Obviously, great news-I will be going over to Iraq in a month for 6 months-I get to vote in Virgina on 22Sep-which I most definitely will. I can retire in 2 years and can’t stomach the fact that there could be a Pres Obama signing my retirement certificate-it would mostly cause me to stay in 4 more years. Thank you all for the support you show the military-it is much appreciated….
