Islamo Fascist “Surge” Not Materializing
The SurrenderMedia is perplexed and confused. Yet again the Islamo Fascists have failed to bring on the quagmire. Again, they have failed to show they can withstand the focused efforts of the West. Again, they have failed to make the case they are too strong for America to stop:
The killing of the one-legged Dadullah is a major victory against the Taliban, which is trying to overthrow the government after being driven out of power in late 2001. Dadullah’s death could disrupt the insurgency over the next few months, although it’s not clear whether the movement will be hurt in the long run.
…
But his death, and the Taliban’s failure to deliver the sort of fighting promised for months, raises questions about what is happening with the movement. Although there have been pockets of harsh fighting in Helmand province and almost daily suicide attacks in Afghanistan, the violence has not been at the levels anticipated by many this year nor the levels vowed by the Taliban.
Only defeatists were expecting the Taliban surge. Only Surrendercrats were waiting – with palatable anticiptation – the spanking of America and her allies by these brutal fascists. But the reality is our position is one of strength, not faltering weakness (H/T Salon on noting the typos). Freedom does shine a powerful light that rots the support of these fascist movements. The Taliban, and al Qaeda, are finding brutality does not bring support – it brings out self defense. al Qaeda is penned into Diyala province and desperately trying to strike back. But their efforts in the face of up 7,000 trained and well equipped troops heading to the Province are tragically laughable:
The worst attack occurred in the Diyala province capital of Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad, when unidentified gunmen in two cars opened fire on a police checkpoint, killing three policemen and two civilians, police said. Two policemen and four civilians were wounded in the 9:30 a.m. attack, which ended when the assailants fled the scene, police said.
At the microcosm level this is sad and tragic. In the big picture, though, having 5 police taken out of commission per day means it will take 3.9 years for the terrorists to work their way through the military forces heading their way. And the reason these faux brutes target police and civilians is they would be chewed up and spit out sideways if they went up against Iraqi or US military forces. It is not a question of ‘if’ the insurgents will be crushed. If the local population turns on al Qaeda in Diyala like it did in Anbar it will only be a question of ‘when’.
The SurrenderMedia has a terrible habit of seeing the brutality of the Islamo Fascists as the beginning of a resurgency, when the record shows that the violence peaks at the time al Qaeda is ready to lose control of a region. It is their classic ‘last ditch effort’ to retain relevancy. It happened in Anbar and it resulted in 200 Sunni tribes singing pacts to chase al Qaeda from Iraq. It is now happening again in Diyala as the local death squads try one final attempt at control:
he United States military surge in Iraq, designed to turn around the course of the war, appears to be failing as senior US officers admit they need yet more troops and new figures show a sharp increase in the victims of death squads in Baghdad.
In the first 11 days of this month 234 bodies – men murdered by death squads – have been dumped around the capital, a dramatic rise from the 137 found in the same period last month.
These men belong to tribes who were waivering in their support to al Qaeda. The foreigners coming into Iraq and killing the locals are not Americans – they are Islamo Fascists. The Arab/Muslim street does rise up when their own are being lined up and gunned down. And when they go public with their new war on al Qaeda it means a line has been crossed, one which cannot be turned crossed back over:
A newly formed Islamic militant group accused al-Qaida of killing 12 of its senior members in Baghdad’s Dora neighborhood in a statement posted Monday on its Web site.
The Jihad and Reform Front described Saturday’s killings as a “catastrophe that befell on us” and urged al-Qaida to hand over the culprits to be tried by its Islamic court, the posting said.
The group was formed by merging the Islamic Army in Iraq, the Mujahideen Army and some senior leaders from the Sharia Commission of Ansar al-Sunnah, according to the Front’s founding notice, posted two weeks ago. But leaflets recently plastered on walls in the western city of Fallujah said the 1920 Revolution Brigades had joined the Front as well.
“Twelve of our mujahideen, mostly field commanders from the Mujahideen Army, were killed in a perfidious ambush set up by some of our past comrades whom we did not expect to betray us in such a cruel and barbaric way,” the Front said in Monday’s statement.
Yes, there is civil war in Iraq. The one we wanted way back on 9/12/01. The Muslim community is taking sides and most are turning to our side. SurrenderMedia and Surrendercrats have no control over the bloodlust of the Islamo Fascists. And in the end THAT will be what turns this war to our eventual success. No amount of PR or message control here in the US or in the West can change the fight for humanity’s soul now raging in Iraq. Brutality will lose to self determination.
Is this any way to run a railroad??
Somehow I knew before I even looked in this thread that the only comment so far would be from our self-proclaimed “soothsayer”. Every silver lining has a cloud in his case. Is he another sock puppet of the individual we used to know as “ken” ?
Anyway, in a strategic sense the enws out of both Afghanistan and Iraq is nothing short of amazing. If the Democrats want to lose this war, they better do it in a hurry.
You guys are delusional. A far more rational view of Iraq may be gleaned from – of all people – the Republican Leader of the Senate:
You heard it here first, folks: Mitch McConnell, on behalf of the Republican party, says if the Iraqis ask us to leave, WE WILL.
Somebody better clue in that idiot McCain. He doesn’t give a damn WHAT the Iraqis say. PASS THE KOOL-AID.
Gee, anybody else get the feeling that maybe there’s just a BIT of context missing from Sooth’s quote? He won’t tell us where he gets his quotes, so it’s not as if we can see for ourselves if Sooth has stumbled on something more than just McConnell venting.
So? Mitch appears to be complaining about the Iraqi government. Not the surge. Nope, you pass the kool-aid. Sure, no problem if they ask us to leave. Then the fault is on Iraq’s part. However, the Iraqi parliament seems to be backpedaling on this Sadr-original resolution.
You could try this new-fangled dealie called “Google” – or go to:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070513/pl_nm/usa_iraq_republicans_dc for all the gruesome and gory details.
CrossPatch is correct. Those dems and frustrated Republicans had better hurry and withdraw immediately in order to meet their goals and appease their bases and mainstream media.
After the 11 Republicans went to Bush, and now ‘Ol Mitch’s outlook on the war is gettin’ bleak, you may have to add the term “Surrendicans” to this blog.
Do you remember when Cheney said the insurgency is in its “last throes”? It’s been awhile since he said that, huh? I don’t think there has been this pattern that the violence gets worse whenwhen “the record shows that the violence peaks at the time al Qaeda is ready to lose control of a region.” Exactly what region is free of violence in Iraq? And why are generals on the ground asking for more troops?
As to your “5 policeman a day is OK” comment, I was wondering if you knew that only 5 people would die a day? What if 10, 15., 20 die in one day? And what about the psychological effects on the deaths? How many new cops do you think will sign up with those kind of odds. Yes, killing that one-legged bastard is a great day for America, but you can bet that he has already been replaced. We’ve killed Saddam, his sons, and TONS of Al-Qaeda top leaders, yet the violence continues.
This “We are turning a corner in Iraq,” Al Qaeda is on the ropes,” “there’s no way the Taliban can gain control in Afghanistan,” is becoming tired. I thought we crushed the Taliban for good. Maybe we would have if we didn’t divert our forces into Iraq. We didn’t, and now we have to deal with those idiots again.
Why don’t you face the truth? We can’t continue down this path.
It just cracks me up how the lemmings for the dems try to use so many themes to promote their agenda.
Take the one about us going into Iraq…snip/”Maybe we would have if we didn’t divert our forces into Iraq.”
Like AlQaeda was only going to stay in Afghanistan…or Pakistan…or Phillipines…or Iran…or on and on…Riigghhhtt.
For the clueless: Al Q is everywhere.
But, the dem lemmings know this. They know that this administration’s strategy has been brilliant…They just can’t afford to let it be successful because they will then be further into the ashheap hell hole of history….where all their military strategy of the last 47 years belongs.
Keep talking. We love for everyone to know/see how you REALLY are.
Happywash:
Why don’t you face the truth? The people of Iraq just might get tired of getting killed so that a bunch of American politicians can use their deaths to win the next election. By that I mean virtually all the Democrats {who swear there is no AlQaida in Iraq} and some Republicans who are worried about the next election.
The path you seem to prefer is the one where we run away, the body count in Iraq is counted in the hundreds every single day and AlQaida sets up a training camp from which they can plan attacks against people all over the world if they damn well feel like it.
The truth is overall casualties are down right now and the Iraqis are making progress. Will they be able to survive the turncoat Americans such as yourself and sooth the dumbie? Only time will tell.
And you know what? Considering the fact that our own Congress has done absolutely nothing they promised either kind of makes me wonder who they think they are fooling. At least the Iraqis have some excuses, these bozos don’t.
And it was just the other day that the Iraqi government made a point of asking the US not to leave, so the quote about them asking us to leave is either wrong, old or taken out of context.
It is something how eager for defeat our soothsayer is. He/she/it seems absolutely giddy at the prospect of genocide and defeat. That tells you all you need to know about the soothie. This is the same soothie who said all the people of Oklahoma are stupid. Vicious little bugger.
Senate to vote on ending war funding
…er…a year from now…
Sounds like the same bill as the first version. Nothing has changed.
OK. No one denies that Al Qaeda is in Iraq. What WAS said was that there was no link between 9/11 and Iraq. Sure Al Qaeda is there now, we brought them there when we “liberated” Iraq. Did someone say “brilliant” when referring to the Bush Administration’s handling of Iraq? Yeah, so brilliant. Instead of listening to the generals who said we needed hundreds of thousands of troops in the beginning, they put them out to pasture and allowed Rummy’s plan to put us where we are today. What is the Bush’s plan now? Put in more troops. The problem is it’s a bit too late. Of course, it could work. I myself will wait until September to hear what the report from the ground is. But what is going to be said if it hasn’t worked?
Someone else said I prefer the path where “the body count in Iraq is counted in the hundreds every single day and AlQaida sets up a training camp from which they can plan attacks against people all over the world if they damn well feel like it.” Funny, that’s already happening now! I don’t prefer that path at all.
Do I know the answer? Of course not. But the American people on both sides of the aisle are getting sick of “Here comes the second verse, same as the first verse.”
As to the Iraqi government asking us to stay or go, that changes daily, so there’s no telling what’s going to come out of that. Hell, they can’t get any of the important bills passed there (oil revenue sharing, etc), so I’m not holding my breath that there will be a bill like that passed, and especially not one that the US will listen to.
Answer to Terrye.
It is in the news. The majority of legislators in the Iraqi Parliament have signed a petition for a legislative timetable governing the withdrawal of U.S.troops from Iraq.
The Legislation ask America to continue with it’s troops in Iraq but not for long. ” The troops withdrawal should move parallel to the building of Iraqi troops, but their stay (U.S. troops) should not be for a long time.
Translation….. Start preparing to get out surge or no surge. That’s why Sen. McConnell Republican Minority Leader in the Senate is so infuriated.
So Terrye is time to start preparing for the mental adjustment that you will have to make in the not to distant future.
Your ideas are incorrect. and your elected President (Bush) is despised around the world because of the correct perseption that the man is an arrogant idiot unwilling to accept the respnsibility that comes with power.
My concern is what happens when push truly comes to shove? What happens when the Iraqi government that we have installed and supported votes and decides they want us the freak out of Iraq?
Mitch says we’ll go!!
Yeah, right. Here’s where the empire part comes into play – McCain is already staking out the posiition that it doesn’t matter what the Iraqis say – we’re staying.
At that point – what happens if the Iraqi government calls upon the people to throw us out – and then the insurgency inherits the mantle of respectability.
All the freakazoid Chimp in the Oval Office cares about is that the disaster not happen on his watch – so he’s going into the 4 corners drill and is hoping to run the clock out before he’s impeached.
Pathetic. And unbelievably irresponsible to the troops that he placed in harms way on a fool’s errand. The Gods of History will not be kind to this idiot.
Yeh and ELEVEN MILLION Iraqi’s who voted really didnt’ risk death to do so.
Global socialists are soooo easy to spot. And you know, Terrye, they will NEVER understand how we Americans who like to win, think.
G_d bless America and G_d bless George W. Bush-a true American hero.
We shall see what happens. Nope, the history books will be kind to one of the best US Presidents, Bush. And he will not be impeached by the Senate. The House has the votes but not the Senate. Let the House impeach Bush and things will backfire on the Democrats.
I’m willing to bet that there are conditions attached to this so-called Iraqi petition. Not a resolution. Let’s see what others say.
Here is what Douglas Farah had to say:
Once Again, the Caliphate
And this is also true.
