Victory i Iraq

[Faithfulee]

Every  day victory comes closer.

The news that alSadr has disbanded his Army is call for celebration. 

It has been unnoticed by the press so far, except the Wall Street Journal.

Another evidence of the bias in the media.

Actions speak louder than words.  Although I agree with you, this is really big news.  And if it's true, then it will hasten our withdrawal timetable in Iraq.

the Wall street Journal picked it up 2 days ago
Rush reported on it today

Therefore it must be true.  It also must be common knowledge.

Why hasn't our press reported on it??

The reason goes beyond the propensity of the media to ignore good news from Iraq.  But more on that later.

Where is the celebration here on Beliefcorner??

Weeks ago Anbar province was turned over to the Iraqis (thanks to the surge and Canon Andrew White) and US troops are leaving that area of Iraq.

I guess the Dems are afraid to celebrate because their Candidate wanted to surrender.

But where are my Republican buddies??

God Bless America

Victory in Iraq! Why big press is burying story of the year
Amazing, inspiring look at how U.S. troops won 'unwinnable' war despite media opposition

What kind of headline would you expect newspapers nationwide to trumpet if America won the war in Iraq and destroyed al-Qaida there?

Maybe something like this? "VICTORY IN IRAQ! AL-QAIDA SMASHED!" Perhaps even old-fashioned newsboys on the street corners, yelling "Extra, extra! Vic'try in Iraq! Read all about it!"

Don't hold your breath. You won't see such headlines in American newspapers or leading network news broadcasts – even though, believe it or not, by all credible accounts America has indeed won the war in Iraq!

This is getting very interesting

I hope we keep this topic for a long time because it is right on and more and more people are coming to appreciate the Victory in Iraq that we are experiencing

From today's Wall Street Journal

When it comes to Victory in Iraq, a majority of Americans simply won't take yes for an answer.

The surge is succeeding. Security in Iraq's three major cities has vastly improved. The Iraqi army is finally asserting control. American casualties are at their lowest since 2003. Civilian deaths, kidnappings and car bombings have plummeted. Al Qaeda is now virtually friendless in Iraq. Most important, the Shiite and Sunni mainstream are beginning to participate in their own liberation.

Trust me, this issue won't die.  The media may wish not to talk about it, but we are seeing some of it in the form of ads, and we will see some more of it in the presidential debates.

It won't die if I have anythng thing to say about it.  I have been with it for nearly three year and I am delighted at the progress.

I hope you all get to review the Wall Street Journal article about the Rehabilitation centers.  This is an extremely important contribution to America's efforts to secure peace in Iraq. 

Let me know if you need the link.  My wife (a liberal) was shocked the other day when in a news conference an Iraqi said that he was getting $500 per month from the US.  I hope it is going to Muslims of good faith who are working for peace, real peace in Iraq

God Bless America.

This is an older (2005) ARTICLE about these centers.  I am impressed that we have been doing this for three years now.  No mention of it in the press of course.

the Wall Street Journal article

Few in the military question the need for the rehabilitation effort, but some wonder whether troops should be leading it. Some officers privately complain the program is turning them into social workers who coddle violent extremists. But few are willing to voice those criticisms because the effort is a favored project of Gen. David Petraeus, the former commander of U.S. forces in Iraq. Gen. Petraeus believes the country's stability will be shaped by how well former insurgents are integrated back into Iraqi society. He sees the rehabilitation push as a powerful weapon in that fight. 

My God,  we are training our military to be COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS”

Obama should enlist when he gets defeated in November.

The last part demonstrates the importance of the work of  people like Canon White and his Sunni and Shiia  compatriots.

Haider said the classes initially forced him to re-evaluate whether attacks on American and Iraqi security forces were permitted under Islam. But the lessons seem less persuasive the longer he is out of prison.
"Definitely the classes made me see new parts of Islam, the peaceful parts," he said. "But things sound different out here than they did in there."
