Yesterday a “conservative columnist” (as the NY Times’ ‘The Opinionator’ couched it) in Australia claimed al-Qaeda was defeated and Iraq was on the path of success – something I have been saying for months since the Iraq people rose up to destroy al-Qaeda for their brutal atrocities on the Iraqi Muslims. What is sadly funny […]

I am not saying we are done and can go home now from Iraq. But the fact is there are going to be more and more claims that Iraq is going to be a success, or in some cases IS a success. Take for example this piece from an Australian Paper: THERE is a reason […]

I wonder which Democrat from Congress is going to challenge the conclusions of the head of Islamic Party of Iraq regarding our SUCCESS in Iraq in defeating al-Qaeda: “Al Qaeda in Iraq is defeated,” according to Sheik Omar Jabouri, spokesman for the Iraqi Islamic Party and a member of the widespread and influential Jabouri Tribe. […]

al-Qaeda is being systematically destroyed in Iraq – and with good reason. al-Qaeda has always been an group of Islamo Fascist thugs trying to look respectful to the Muslim World as they strive for complete control. They used the boogey-man of “America” to shore up their credibility – to appease all the blame-America feelings that […]

Been saying it almost all year: as goes Diyala so goes Iraq. The reason being Diyala is a melting pot of the major Iraqi religous sects. It was one of the last areas to feel the effects of The Surge, so it will trail by months the progress seen in Anbar Province, and it may […]

Some might have seen the headlines recently from Iraq that seemed to be a reversal in our progress in Iraq in stopping al-Qaeda’s violence. It involved the discovery of 20 beheaded bodies and was played up as some kind of sign things were not improving. Apparently the only thing not improving is the SurrenderMedia’s inability […]

The death toll in Iraq is declining rapidly as the US and Iraqis turn the tables on al-Qaeda and their Islamo Fascist cousins. The numbers are just amazing: Thirty-seven Americans have died in October, the lowest monthly figure since March 2006 when 31 perished, according to the U.S. military. … The number of Iraqi civilians […]

Yesterday there was news of 11 anti al-Qaeda Sheiks, and today we here that 8 of them (Sunni and Shiite) have been rescued: Iraqi security forces rescued eight of 11 kidnapped Shiite and Sunni tribal leaders Monday, said Defense Ministry spokesman Mohammed al-Askari. “The operation, based on reliable intelligence reports, began this afternoon by al-Rasafa […]

Those who read this site know I have been of the opinion that as Iraq fell to American and the Democrat Iraqi government al-Qaeda would be pushed out of the country. That is because Iraqis want al-Qaeda dead as much as anyone given the brutal, ugly atrocities al-Qaeda has inflicted on them. In fact, you […]

As one poster noted yesterday here the complexity with Iran is primarily the theocratic thugs (yes, those Islamo Fascists) who run the country are not well liked by the Iranians in general. Iranians (Persians) and Americans actually have a history of getting along well and being allies. So we need to be careful to target […]
