You still don't believe that we're winning in Iraq? The drive-by media is providing the Dems with the sound-bite trees they need to convince the American people that we've been beaten, but it is more important to look at the forest. Here's a report from Bill Roggio, who has been there, and done that:

Lost in the current debate over Iraq - civil war or sectarian violence, success or failure, increasing troops or strategic redeployment, victory or defeat - is the sea-change occurring in western Iraq. The U.S. military has coaxed a large majority of the Sunnis of Anbar province, perhaps one of the most sympathetic groups to al-Qaeda in the Middle East, to turn on al-Qaeda. The choice wasn't difficult after the tribes saw what al-Qaeda had to offer – death, torture, Taliban like sharia, humiliation, destruction of commerce. The relationship and intelligence gained form operating in western Iraq will benefit the west during the Long War – if the U.S. doesn't withdrawal precipitously and leave the Anbar tribes to the predations of al-Qaeda in Iraq.

Read The Whole Thing. Now.

Looks like a bit of further evidence that the U.S. has decided to back the Sunnis against the Shiites.

Correct. Baker is running things. Baker is an honorary Saudi citizen and is working with them to install a Zionist-friendly Saddam. If the Shah were still running Iran, we'd be trying to install his guy instead.

And Al Qaeda still is and always has been a psy ops. Maybe it has not been fully under the control of its puppets at times, but its pedigree can be traced to Tel Aviv, London and D.C.

Uh huh. Wow. Never mind that "al Qaeda in Iraq" is a fiction.

I'm so sorry to hear about your banning at the annex.

But he successfully wasted a few minutes of Goldi's time and may have even raised her blood pressure.

Under all of his screen names? He's only had a dozen over there.

A dozen! Well multiply that by 12 then.

It's kinda like watching someone play whack-a-mole. He just pops up in a different hole a few seconds later. Let's see if he comes here to argue with himself like he said he would [/snicker]

Yeah, I didn't realize Goldi read over here. She must have seen the former screen names on my 4um tagline and figured it out.

No big deal. I will just post my bullshit over here instead. The audience doesn't really matter. Hardly anyone buys into my propaganda no matter where I go.

That's his 4th name. The others were changed properly...so he KNEW the proper way to do it.

...and that really ticks me off.

Especially since he is obviously a Govt Troll.

He's been whining about income tax nonpayment, and anything not sanctioned by the CFR and their minions since day 1.

Hey, where'd you get that pic of Tom "Squirrely" DeLay?

Good lord, won't these people have the goodness to withdraw to the Philippine jungle like the die-hard delusionary Japanese did after WWII?

This sucker is done, and it went exactly the way the anti-war movement predicted in Feb. 03. We KNEW, going in, that the entire country was armed to the teeth. Did we secure the ammo dumps? No. Did we disarm the army? No. What DID we do? We rushed to the oil ministry and sent troops to the pipelines. It was like Gollum and his precioussssss.

It's really time to export these pro-war fruitcakes. There are countries in the world who would welcome them as nutrition.

You are missing the big picture. The GOP was seeking three results from the war:

1. Fool the goobers into voting GOP in 2002.

2. Fool the goobers into voting GOP in 2004.

3. Blame the failure and the consequences on the incoming Democrats.

Two of the goals are already realized. The third will come about if we can just fling enough bullshit to bury the truth.

Hence, you see it actually is a victory.
