War News: General Petraeus To Take Command of CENTCOM

This is an absolutely fantastic move. The Leftinistra will begin to whine, naturally, but, they are such an insignificant force, no one really cares about their 1 farthing, do they? (Read the rest)

War News: BarbinMD; Dunce and Leftinistra Hack Extraordinaire

Anyone with a remote chance of having a slight inkling of reality will know that the NYSlimes is the least reliable source of anything besides toilet paper - if you care to get third rate ink slime on your hiney. Yet, this KOSmonoff has taken the NY Slimes as the gospel according to those that tip off the enemy at every chance they get and distort everything they possibly can to increase their ratings or to feed the anti-Americanist agenda. So far, the only thing the NY Slimes has managed to do these last 5 or more years is tank and tank hard. (Read the rest)

War News: They Called Him "BetrayUs"

As most of you know, I am a proud member of Vets For Freedom. I also support all 17 Iraq Veterans running for Congress. I was privy to this before hand but was sworn to secrecy until the official announcement was made. So, here it is: SSG David Bellavia, the co-founder of Vets For Freedom has thrown his hat in the ring to take Congress back from the defeatists and socialists currently occupying the seats in the House and Senate. Kudos to SSG "Bell". (Read the rest)

War News: The Socialists Are Working Overtime

ANO

San Fran Nanny Nancy Pelosi, the singularly most unpopular SOH in our nation's history is trying extra hard to alienate an ally in South America via blocking the vote to bring about the most needed free trade agreement with Colombia. I can only surmise that Colombia is off track to become a socialist state...must piss her off pretty badly.

Judge Bob is doing his best to bring about an end to King Pork Boy's regime in Pennsylvania by exposing the charlatan's antics to the people of PA and the nation as a whole. No wonder Nancy is upset.

While our Armed Services are killing our enemies, Jimmy Carter is doing his best to ease their pain by once again, befriending our enemies. What a maroon this guy is. I don't know which one is worse...Carter or Levin. Levin says he is disappointed with General Petraeus. Naturally, winners repel losers and seeing that General Petraeus is a winner, perhaps it is normal for Loser Levin to be disappointed. Perhaps if General Petraeus were to become a Loser, Levin would be happy? Do tell. The idiot thinks he can "trick" Generals into emboldening the enemy...imagine that.

John Feehery doesn't get it either. He tells half-truths which equates to half-lies which equates him to moonbat status. He makes the usual retarded statement that "the majority of Americans want us out of Iraq" but doesn't let anyone in on the rest of the story. The guy is a mental midget. We want the troops out when they can come home in Victory. Where has this idiot been hiding?

And Joe Stesak? The very definition of dunce.

I am taking all of this in from many angles and listening to these pathetic cretins makes me ill. I think someone should give General Petraeus a paint ball gun with red paint balls. At the end of the day, there should be camera crews outside the hall and whoever has the most red paint stains gets the Rubber Chicken Award.

Yes. Every Anti-Americanist should have one of these tattooed on their worthless foreheads.

More RCAs to be awarded here at Memeorandum...go figure.

War News: General David Petraeus Coming To Town

Remember last September when the Leftinistra with their defeatist yammerings and their treasonous actions tried to besmirch the character of General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker as they were about to give their testimony? Does anyone recall the end result? They lost, as usual. Seeing that they are so vested in and with defeat because it makes them feel better about themselves and they love our enemies more than they love their fellow citizens and military members, they should have been happy that they lost. But, alas, it didn't. It just got them angry. Now, General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker are coming back to town and the Leftinistra and their rabid moosetwit clowns on the anti-Americanist Blogdom are getting ready to be trounced once again. Imagine that.

Cyber Pastor and myself will be in DC with Vets On The Hill this next Monday through Wednesday and we will try and broadcast via BTR. On Monday evening, 4/7/2008, Cyber Pastor has a show scheduled at 1800 EST and Sonlit Knight will have the usual show at 1900 EST. Hopefully, these shows will be conducive to the powers that be at the Monday evening festivities. So far, there are no socials or dinners scheduled but that might change. We will try and round up some folks for the shows.

As you can see from the links in the very beginning of this post, the Leftinistra were quite active in trying to disparage the man that they themselves confirmed unanimously and they are, once again, trying to do the same thing. Disgusting, isn't it? So, in honor of General David Petraeus and the men and women fighting the enemy in the Global War On Terror, I am going to post here at ANO an article I wrote and placed up at Digital Journal that did not make it to this blog.

War News: Pelosi "Warns" General Petraeus?

When I first saw this title, Pelosi warns Petraeus on Iraq testimony, pop up in my Reader from the Politico, my first thought was as such: &^*%$#U*(K#$#%$$$%&@@!**(!!!! Seeing that we try to keep this blog family safe, I did not place in English that which I was saying to myself out loud and really loud out loud.

Admiral Fallon Stepping Down [UPDATE(s)]

ANO

It is lonely at the top... Ace Of Spades, Hot Air, Yahoo! News and The NY Slimes...

In an Esquire article published last week, it has been said that Admiral Fallon is the only one standing between the United States and war with Iran. I don't think so but that is the way he is being portrayed.

It is also common knowledge that Fallon and Gates weren't on the best friends lists at Christmas Time either. ALLAHPUNDIT is looking for updates...

Consider this an Official Moonbat Alert...

Fallon is also said to be not such a great fan of Petraeus either...

In other news, the WaPo did a write up on the Esquire piece and another bloke, Patrick Lang, said that Adm Fallon would step down before following orders he thought to be wrong. Like I said, this is an Official Moonbat Alert!

From Esquire (not a bastion of conservative news, mind you):

As head of U. S. Central Command, Admiral William "Fox" Fallon is in charge of American military strategy for the most troubled parts of the world. Now, as the White House has been escalating the war of words with Iran, and seeming ever more determined to strike militarily before the end of this presidency, the admiral has urged restraint and diplomacy. Who will prevail, the president or the admiral? [...]

When did President Bush threaten war? Chapter and verse please...

WaPo:

[...] Fallon has previously made it clear he has differences with the Bush administration's foreign policy. Some White House aides were said to be unhappy with his decision to dump "the long war" as a phrase to describe U.S. efforts against terrorism. In addition, some White House officials were irked by the persistent friction between him and Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq. Fallon and Petraeus are known to have disagreed about plans and troop levels in Iraq, but Petraeus, even though technically subordinate to Fallon, appears to have more influence with Bush. [...]

AH! I see through the glass darkly now...Moonbat Alert!

Non-Party Politics:

[...] Fallon told Petraeus that he considered him to be "an ass-kissing little chickenshit" and added, "I hate people like that", the sources say. That remark reportedly came after Petraeus began the meeting by making remarks that Fallon interpreted as trying to ingratiate himself with a superior. [...]

Power struggles at work? Go figure! MOONBAT ALERT!! I smell a disgruntled soldier thing coming...

Ace:

[...] Fallon took command of CentCom (the command responsible for both Iraq and Afghanistan) a few days less than a year ago.

Expect Democrats to have a field day with this. [...]

Duly noted, thus, The Moonbat Alert...

[UPDATE(s)]

Well, that didn't take long...Libtard Swampland chiming in already...

Centcom commander Admiral William Fallon has resigned. This is why you should care: [...]

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Damn moron libtards...

The Leftinistra In Congress Are Liars, Skunks and Scoundrels

ANO

UPDATES below the fold...

From The Hill and picture from Pat Dollard: NOTE; remember how the "issue" was the Bush Economy and how SUCK it was/is? Well, the economy ain't so SUCK anymore so the cretins, liars skunks and shallow-minded and empty headed jerks are meeting to defund the war, KNOWING that it will fail but they have to keep the communist SLUTS of Code Pink happy - namely that slithering split-tail Medea Benjamin:

Senate Democrats have scheduled a vote Tuesday on a measure to end the Iraq war, interrupting their plans to emphasize their party's response to the housing crisis. Instead of turning immediately to the economy, the issue now dominating the presidential campaign, the Senate on Tuesday will hold procedural votes on a pair of bills by Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) that would yank the military's funding in Iraq in 120 days and require the administration to send Congress a status report on the war against al Qaeda. [...]

Go read the rest and bring a barf-bag with you.

Gee, I wonder what is coming up in March and April? Could it be that General Petraeus will be forcing Hillary and her ilk of seditious fools and pawns of Al Qaida to willfully suspend their disbelief of the progress being made and the Surge has indeed worked? Is this going to be a repeat of the failed ploy last September?

RUCK UP! EAGLES UP!

Sometimes I have a hard time distinguishing if our pols listen to AQ or the other way around...and who is instructing who...





Right Voices:

[...] Many articles touched on the fact that John Edwards has joined this campaign. The Hill covered this yesterday and was picked up on briefly at memeorandum. This boils down to a lot of money being spent to justify Obama, his anti-war stance, and his ignorance. [END]

Let that small commentary sink in...it isn't as small as some would think...

Lightning Fingers Susan at Wake Up America:

[...] Just to show readers how badly the Democratic politicians are reading the "public" by pandering to their far left extremists base, the latest CNN/Opinion Poll, conducted in February, asks this question:

"In general, do you think the U.S. military is or is not making progress in improving conditions in Iraq and bringing an end to the violence in that country?"

52% of the respondents said is, the U.S. military IS making progress and improving conditions in Iraq and bringing an end to violence in that country.

45% said is not.

Compare that to the same questions asked on 8/6-8/07 and you see that 49% had said is not and 47% said is.

The American public is seeing the progress and noticing it... the Democratic politicians are also, but have allowed themselves to be owned by the far far left so they have to pander to them.

The Democratic politicians have a problem though, the anti-war base that they have pandered to for so long is demanding payment for their support and in what will be the fifth failed attempt at cutting off funds for American troops to withdraw in 120 days, the Democratic politicians will hold a vote today, Tuesday on a pair of bills by Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) that would yank the military's funding in Iraq in 120 days.

The reason I say failed attempt?

Because they already admit, before holding the vote, that it will fail.

Once again spending time and our taxpayer monies on a vote that has no chance, which they admit, to actually pass and become law. THAT is a "Show Vote". [...]

I love it when Spree lays the hammer down...

Brian Faughnan at the Weekly Standard:

[...] Just a year ago, Congressional Democrats couldn't schedule enough votes on Iraq. They wanted to take every opportunity they could to tie Republicans to the president's policy. Now suddenly, they're shying away from a debate that splits their conference. The reason, of course, is the success of the surge -- which has taken away the salience of Iraq as an issue. Voters don't want to see Congress waste its time on Iraq when there are many more pressing issues that need attention.

What does this mean for the general election? Well, if Democrats seek to make Iraq a central point of debate, they better be prepared for Republicans to use it against them. Voters are unlikely to reward politicians for wasting time on the past. [END]

It is said that the fraud, liar and cretin Reid isn't all that excited about the fight...I wonder why...Ass Hat comes to mind...

More to follow as the idgits in DC have just agreed to 30 hours of debate. Wonderful. I wonder if the first 100 hours of 2007 is over yet...

An idiot libtard at the Huff and Puff, thinks some headway is being made in regards to cut and run. This poor deluded ingrate and fool said:

Republicans abandoned their long-time tactic of thwarting Democratic attempts to hold up or down votes on withdrawing combat troops from Iraq today in the Senate.

Instead, Senate Republicans joined their Democratic counterparts this afternoon to consider a proposal by Democrat Russ Feingold and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that would immediately begin to withdraw combat troops from Iraq and begin to cut funding for the war. [...]

Idiot.

Kay Baily Hutchison:

[...] Speaking about a Democratic proposal to force Iraq troop withdrawal within 120 days, Hutchison said Tuesday that such a proposal would "put a bullet right in the hearts of our troops who are there." [...]

True that.

Another Nail Into the Leftinistra's Coffin

MSLSD: Iraq seeks sharp reduction in U.S. military role

BAGHDAD - The United States and Iraq will soon begin negotiating a power shift for U.S. forces, nearly five years after they invaded Iraq and installed a new government, Iraqi and U.S. officials told NBC News on Thursday.

Both countries are working on assembling negotiating teams to shape a new long-term bilateral strategic agreement redefining the fundamental role of U.S. troops, whose mission would shift from combat operations to logistics and support, the officials told NBC News' Richard Engel.

President Bush did not address the report at an economic briefing for reporters Thursday afternoon in Washington, but Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, confirmed that negotiations would begin soon. Petraeus would not provide details, but he said the U.S. role in Iraq would be changing. [...]

This will essentially change the landscape of the 2008 Election Dogma of ignoring the War In Iraq. This will also accentuate the Imminent Victory in the War In Iraq. This will absolutely crush the anti-Americanist crowds including the current Presidential Aspirant Field...The Troop Surge has worked, period, dot com.

It has been said by other commanders that the Iraqi Military had teeth but had no tail. Perhaps there has been a turning point that we don't know about but, who cares? The Iraqi government WANTS to have a more in-depth involvement in their own systematic destruction of their own enemies within and I say go for it.

HOOAH?

American bases and Troops would still be in theater but in a supporting or back-up role. This is a good thing and correlates with what our personal Screamin' Eagle told us when he was home on leave for New Years'.

This folks is Good News. Now, we can quit squabbling with the Anti-Americanists and shut them up and down for good. However, a long-term presence of American Forces will be a bone of contention for these pathetic doldrummed (new word) idiots but that is to be expected.

Those that declared that the war was lost can now STFU and STFD! Mr Reid?

Over to you.

The Anti-Americanist Groups Have Hit The Patriot Brick Wall

ANO

More of this story can be tracked at Memeorandum but we at ANO would like to expound on this subject that The Politico has published today.

When the anti-Americanist crowds within Hollyweird equate the Golden Globe collapse to the fall of Saigon; when the NY Slimes spends every waking moment trying to convince Americans that our military are murderous thugs and have not one time written of the heroic efforts of our Troops; when Presidential Aspirants who were adamantly opposed to the "Bush Troop Surge" suddenly turn around and take the credit for the successes of said "Bush Troop Surge"; when the Commanding Officer in Iraq writes a letter of thanks to Move America Forward and NOT Hillary Clinton for supporting the War Effort; when idiots and BDS infected morons like George The One World Socialist anti-Americanist Soros gets busted for financing an anti-Americanist survey of the Iraqi civilians "killed by US Troops" with massively wrong statistics and claims they are accurate; when pro-Cuban Communists get run out of town at their own anti-Americanist protest; when the truth be told of the Victory at hand comes to the publics' attention; as the fools maintain the same old tired and used up blind rhetoric of non-issue issues; as the fund-raising efforts of the anti-Americanist groups become known as to where these funds are going and why they are aiding the enemies we face as a Nation; as more and more America Haters and BDS drivelers continue in their certifiable ramblings; as more and more Patriots rise up and say, "HELL NO!"; as the rantings of the worse CONgress in history gets slammed by that mean General Petraeus; as it comes to the fore that the "Chicken Hawk" garbage was just that...garbage; as Americans see first hand how the media, namely the NY Slimes, continuously informs our enemies what the military's next move will be; when heroes such as this get national attention, sending the Leftinistra back into their slimy pools of primordial ooze; as the public comes to learn of the associations of the Kennedy Clan with communist groups...and they support that ideology; as the Silent Majority are standing up to be heard and can no longer be ignored; as The New Media continuously gets the scoop on the current events and the alleged MSM sucks our dust; as the Hate America crowds are shown to be hoping that America fails in the Mission In Iraq; as the Blame America First idiots, like this one in Vermont, are shown to be complete fools worldwide...

As General Petraeus and his staff and the men and women he commands bring about the brilliantly applied strategy in Iraq and saying and doing that which he stated he would do becomes more and more evident and impossible to "hide", is it any wonder that the moonbats and anti-Americanists are running away?

After a series of legislative defeats in 2007 that saw the year end with more U.S. troops in Iraq than when it began, a coalition of anti-war groups is backing away from its multimillion-dollar drive to cut funding for the war and force Congress to pass timelines for bringing U.S. troops home. [...]

They have also canceled several "appearances" in DC this coming March...boo-hoo.

Their next target will be a lame and losing attempt to keep Iraq from asking the United States to remain in Iraq for at least the next 1o years.

I find it comical that the Lame Duck Bush, in his last year as President, wins again and the BDS fools are powerless to stop him.

What does that say for the alleged intellectuals of the anti-Americanist leadership...namely Soros?

Hillary Takes Credit For The Troop Surge [UPDATED]

ANO

BITCH! BITCH! THE BITCH IS BACK! BITCH! BITCH! THE BITCH IS BACK!

OK. This is what we have been expecting for quite some time. As the Defeatocrats ignore the successes of the Troop Surge and Victory in Iraq is imminent, the Leftinistra have been consorting and their Spin Machines have come up with a plan...pretend they were for the Troop Surge and take all credit for the Victory in Iraq. I have written about this on my "old blog" Take Our Country Back and I will dig up those posts and place them here fairly soon.

HT to Gateway Pundit for the data here presented for our readers and subscribers:

It Has Begun...Hillary Takes Credit For Surge She Opposed!!

Imagine that. To set the damn record straight, please recall that the Defeatocrats INCLUDING Czarina the Budding Leninist opposed the Bush Troop Surge from the beginning. Hillary's "sudden" turn around and accepting the credit for the successes of the Bush Troop Surge requires the willful suspension of disbelief, as she herself said about General Petraeus' testimony before the CONgress way back in September of 2007. Remember that one? This is unbelievable but it has been expected.

From Gateway: (we at A Newt One concur)

Judith Apter Kliinghoffer at the History News Network posted this amazing attempt by Hillary Clinton on Meet the Press to take credit for the success in Iraq even though she opposed the Bush Surge that brought about this success:

MR. RUSSERT: If General Petraeus says, "Senator, in September you called the surge the suspension of belief. It has worked, and you know it's worked"--let me finish--"you can see on the ground. I'm saying to you, Senator, or president-elect Clinton, don't destroy Iraq. It's working, the surge is working. Keep troops there just a few more months to get this reconciliation complete."

SEN. CLINTON: ...The point of the surge was to quickly move the Iraqi government and Iraqi people. That is only now beginning to happen, and I believe in large measure because the Iraqi government, they watch us, they listen to us. I know very well that they follow everything that I say. And my commitment to begin withdrawing our troops in January of 2009 is a big factor, as it is with Senator Obama, Senator Edwards, those of us on the Democratic side. It is a big factor in pushing the Iraqi government to finally do what they should have been doing all along.

Amazing!She voted to surrender Iraq with the rest of the Democrats-- a move that would have brought total destruction to the country.
Now, she wants to take credit for its success!
Truly, amazing!

Today, Hillary Clinton also blasted antiwar Barak Obama on the War in Iraq.
And, yet here's a look at Hillary Clinton's many stands on Iraq:

video here

I, Snooper, have willfully suspended my disbelief. Simply amazing how so many will swallow this creeps' bullshit lockstep and goosestep.

Hillary Clinton on October 2, 2002:

"So it is with conviction that I support this resolution as being in the best interest of our nation. A vote for it is not a vote to rush to war. It is a vote that puts awesome responsibility in the hands of our president."

Hillary Clinton on February 7, 2007:

"Nearly four years ago our president rushed us into war in Iraq."

Yet today, this troubled and dishonest politician is bashing antiwar Barak Obama for his stand against the war we are now winning.

Hillary also attacked Barak Obama for raising the race issue!

Who wants change?

This woman is certainly NOT ready for the Big Times and is clearly unfit for command.

Leftinistra Doom and Gloom at HuffPo and Think Digress

ANO

General Petraeus, the man unanimously confirmed by the Us Senate and then summarily labeled as incompetent by Mr Incompetence himself ReidCo, has addressed The Troops at year's end.

Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, and Civilians of Multi-National Force-Iraq:

As 2007 draws to a close, you should look back with pride on what you, your fellow troopers, our Iraqi partners, and Iraqi Coalition civilians have achieved in 2007. A year ago, Iraq was racked by horrific violence and on the brink of civil war. Now, levels of violence and civilians and military casualties are significantly reduced and hope has been rekindled in many Iraqi communities. To be sure, the progress is reversible and there is much more to be done. Nonetheless, the hard-fought accomplishments of 2007 have been substantial, and I want to thank each of you for the contributions you made to them. [...] (read the rest at MNF-1 Iraq)

Amazingly, the Leftinistra have "captured" and are promoting the hopes that the successes in Iraq will fail.

They totally skim over the fact that even though there has been a slight bump up in suicide attacks, the attacks are at an all-time low even still. This clearly shows the desperation to distract from the fact that the anti-Americanist low-life scum within our own borders have been on the wrong side of this issue from the very onset.

The reactions from the Libtards and their fellow moppet Leftinistra also reveals their bitter hatred of GWB and Freedom as a whole.

Martial Law and the War In Pakistan

ANO

Some general observations. Well, perhaps a few in-depth ones as well.

We brought to our reader's attention of the [GASP!] bias in the media. Now, we learn of the Petraeus Curve? Alice Miles of the Times of London has a piece wherein she claims, "The Petraeus Curve - Serious success in Iraq is not being [recognized] as it should be."

Gee. I wonder what the first clue was/is? Nothing like being BEHIND the conservative Blogosphere in this regard or, any other as far as that is concerned, eh?

Is no news good news or bad news? In Iraq, it seems good news is deemed no news. There has been striking success in the past few months in the attempt to improve security, defeat al-Qaeda sympathisers and create the political conditions in which a settlement between the Shia and the Sunni communities can be reached. This has not been an accident but the consequence of a strategy overseen by General David Petraeus in the past several months. While summarised by the single word "surge" his efforts have not just been about putting more troops on the ground but also employing them in a more sophisticated manner. This drive has effectively broken whatever alliances might have been struck in the past by terrorist factions and aggrieved Sunnis. Cities such as Fallujah, once notorious centres of slaughter, have been transformed in a remarkable time. [...]

Ja. Go figure. It just doesn't mesh with anti-Americanist "theology", does it? It seems that the more successes there are in the GWOT, the more the Leftinistra and their moppet anti-Americanists face the reality that [GASP!] Bush was Right!

Catch this particular wave (contributing to the Conservative Tsunami) over at Memeorandum.

We have Captain Ed letting us all know that there is a state of emergency in Pakistan now that Al Q'aida has given up the fight in Iraq (read that as Lost The War In Iraq...no thanks to ReidCo). Could it be that thousands of people returning to Baghdad (Breitbart) and the Parade in Ramadi has had a deafening after-shock throughout the Jihadistan Lands?

The New York Slimes, the Washington Compost, and The Guardian all have their own take on this but the question(s) remain...has the War On The West, The Jihad, shifted to Pakistan? And, if so, is it too late for Pakistan? From my (Snooper) perspective, having been "in the know" at one time, I stated many times that we needed to be IN Pakistan and be very active in annihilating the enemy as it regrouped there, under the protections of the ill-fated and lethality of Political Correctness. "We" already knew that a large contingent of AQ and Taliban fled to the hills of Pakistan when "we" removed the Taliban Regime in Afghanistan.

With the demise of AQI and AQA, AQP should be the next Mission Accomplished.

On Changing Directions and General Petraeus

ANO

A Democratic senator on Saturday accused President Bush and congressional Republicans of hindering his party's attempts to chart a new course in Iraq even though U.S. troops are fighting violence "they cannot possibly resolve." [...]

That Democratic Party Senator (read Defeatist Troll) would be the Dishonorable Senator Bob Casey, D-PA. His "party's attempts to chart a new course in Iraq" is a defeatist course and is unacceptable to the vast majority of the American People and certainly not the course The United States Armed Services wants, needs or desires.

This same ignoramus also said the following:

[...] "They will face hatred they did not create and sectarian violence they cannot possibly resolve," Casey said. "They are doing a remarkable job, a heroic job, but the Iraqi leaders are not holding up their end of the bargain." [...]

Let us take a look at some developments that this fool and others like him cannot admit to and keep up with, shall we?

[...] Violence has fluctuated widely since the 2003 U.S. invasion. But analysts say recent improvements may continue because of more effective U.S. tactics and a rebellion against al Qaeda in Iraq by Sunni leaders in Anbar province.

Roadside bombing incidents have fallen by more than half since March. U.S. military deaths in October were at their lowest level since March 2006, and Iraqi civilian deaths were down about two-thirds from a 2007 high in January.

O'Hanlon said he believed the less violent conditions are likely to endure until Bush leaves office, despite the planned withdrawal of 20,000 U.S. combat troops by next July. [...]

The Defeatists are demanding troop withdrawals and the silly imps don't even know that this has already been planned. I sure wish they could keep up. I suppose that this is not an example, one of several hundred, that this is violence "that they cannot possibly resolve", eh? it seems that what the Defeatists are in fear of is that GWB was right after all and they, once again, are on the wrong side of this all so important issue. They are also in fear of a Victory in Iraq and we must ask ourselves why that is...exactly.

If you have been following our articles/news on the 101st Airborne, you will find this Good News that the Defeatocrats ignore. An occurrence such as this as well as many others could not take place as easy as it has without the cooperation of the locals that are overwhelmingly coming to the aid of coalition forces.

And, yes, I do question their patriotism as I do, have and, always will question these fools at Sadly, NO!'s patriotism. It is fools such as these that the Defeatocrats cater and pander to. One of these days, the Defeatocrats will figure out these trivial and insignificant trolls of their moonbat base is not representative of the vast majority of Americans. If they were, why do they have so much trouble changing course from victory to defeat? And, if this war is so illegal and so unconstitutional, why then, haven't charges been brought up seriously? The last attempt was shear bluster on the part of Kucinich.

The distraction techniques the Defeatocrats use are the epiphany they so fear. It marks forever their inability to lead. The Defeatocrats also do not understand the phrase God and Country.

From Q and O: Is the Cone of Silence on Iraq beginning to lift?

Yesterday I posted about Michael Yon's latest. I included the usual lament about lack of mainstream media coverage, as I have other times I've posted one of his dispatches. I've been referring to it as the "cone of silence" for a while, calling back to the old Get Smart television series that most of our readers are probably too young to remember.

I'm certainly not the only one who has noticed a dearth of coverage. Just yesterday, Investor's Business Daily said:

Which makes it all the more curious why major newspapers and network TV news programs can lead with a barrage of news out of Iraq when things there go bad, but can't seem to find the space or time when things turn good. As the bad news dries up, their interest in the good remains nil.

It takes people like Yon ... to tell us what's going on - not the highly paid prima donnas whose past reporting has made them so invested in defeat that they can no longer afford to tell us the truth.

However, this time one of our commenters, "glasnost", took me to task on the cone of silence assertion. His initial, and strongest, evidence consisted of three stories just yesterday in the New York Times. [...]

The Leftinistra thrive and lust for Bad News...it sooths the void that once was a home for their soul.

With Iran lending less and less help in Iraq, our troops are doing better at winning seeing that the proxy war with Iran is on hold for the time being. This is also bad news to the Defeatocrats.

One should also be able to conclude from the evident stupid actions of the Defeatocrats in recent days that the Good News flowing from the bowels of Iraq are simply too overwhelming for the cretins to accept and absorb into their collapsed cranial synapse pathways.

Michael Yon has several recent fantastic reports on previously thought to be impossible to take place. This Good News reporting comes on the heels of the Petraeus March To Victory. These reports can be found here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.

Other Good News reports that totally frighten the likes of the Defeatocrats can be located here at The Victory Caucus.

At A Second Hand Conjecture, they have this to say about the likes of ReidCo:

[...] As the situation on the ground in Iraq continues to brighten, and a light begins to appear at the end of the war tunnel, is it the brightest thing in the world to starve the military at this juncture? Anti-War Democrats constantly harp on how Pres. Bush has "broken" the military. Do they feel any responsibility when they pull purely political stunts like this? I'm guessing not. [...]

Truly amazingly simple when you sit back and cut through the dross of distraction. Harry Reid and his kind cannot, will not, won't ever take responsibility for their own defeatist BS...his approval rating is 2 points below his nemesis GWB.

Petraeus Becoming Increasingly Important
Astute Bloggers

[...] The Petraeus Surge is working.

No greater proof of this is the fact that the MSM has virtually stopped reporting on the war there because almost all the military news is good.

The question remains for some critics: did it come too late, and why didn't it come earlier - as if Bush could gave done so in 2004 or 2005 or 2006. [...]

Very well stated...

The Anti-Americanist Groups Have Hit The Patriot Brick Wall

As General Petraeus and the men and women he commands bring about the brilliantly applied strategy in Iraq and saying and doing that which he stated he would do becomes more and more evident and impossible to "hide", the anti-Americanists run away.

More of this story can be tracked at Memeorandum but we at ANO would like to expound on this subject that The Politico has published today.

When the anti-Americanist crowds within Hollyweird equate the Golden Globe collapse to the fall of Saigon; when the NY Times spends every waking moment trying to convince Americans that our military are murderous thugs and have not one time written of the heroic efforts of our Troops; when Presidential Aspirants who were adamantly opposed to the "Bush Troop Surge" suddenly turn around and take the credit for the successes of said "Bush Troop Surge"; when the Commanding Officer in Iraq writes a letter of thanks to Move America Forward and NOT Hillary Clinton for supporting the War Effort; when silly men like George The One World Socialist anti-Americanist Soros gets busted for financing an anti-Americanist survey of the Iraqi civilians "killed by US Troops" with massively wrong statistics and claims they are accurate; when pro-Cuban Communists get run out of town at their own anti-Americanist protest; when the truth be told of the Victory at hand comes to the publics' attention; as the fools maintain the same old tired and used up blind rhetoric of non-issue issues; as the fund-raising efforts of the anti-Americanist groups become known as to where these funds are going and why they are aiding the enemies we face as a Nation; as more and more As the America Haters continue in their certifiable ramblings; as more and more Patriots rise up and say, "HELL NO!"; as the rantings of the worse CONgress in history gets slammed by that mean General Petraeus; as it comes to the fore that the "Chicken Hawk" garbage was just that...garbage; as Americans see first hand how the media, namely the NY Times, continuously informs our enemies what the military's next move will be; when heroes such as this get national attention, sending the Leftinistra back into their slimy pools of primordial ooze; as the public comes to learn of the associations of the Kennedy Clan with communist groups...and they support that ideology; as the Silent Majority are standing up to be heard and can no longer be ignored; as The New Media continuously gets the scoop on the current events and the alleged MSM sucks our dust; as the Hate America crowds are shown to be hoping that America fails in the Mission In Iraq; as the Blame America First proponents, like this one in Vermont, are shown to be completely foolish worldwide...

As General Petraeus and his staff and the men and women he commands bring about the brilliantly applied strategy in Iraq and saying and doing that which he stated he would do becomes more and more evident and impossible to "hide", is it any wonder that the anti-Americanists are running away?

After a series of legislative defeats in 2007 that saw the year end with more U.S. troops in Iraq than when it began, a coalition of anti-war groups is backing away from its multimillion-dollar drive to cut funding for the war and force Congress to pass timelines for bringing U.S. troops home. [...]

They have also canceled several "appearances" in DC this coming March...boo-hoo.

Their next target will be a lame and losing attempt to keep Iraq from asking the United States to remain in Iraq for at least the next 1o years.

I find it comical that the Lame Duck Bush, in his last year as President, wins again and the BDS patients are powerless to stop him.

What does that say for the alleged intellectuals of the anti-Americanist leadership...namely Soros?

A Right To Know…

From a friend of mine at another place…A Proud Infidel

“..And what do we have for the losers, Johnny! Thaaaat’s right, after showing complete disregard for the men on the ground, their families and the fate of our nation, the Democrats, lead by Nancy Pelosi and Jack Murtha, will get a long vacation at exotic Fort Bush Was Right, You Were Wrong. And …. for all the White Flag Republicans, start updating those resumes boys and girls because next term you will be teaching typewriter maintenance at the Rocco Clubo School for Traitors…”The Lame Stream Media just MIGHT be submitting themselves for medical care. The reasons why are “Rather” easy to understand.

Robert Kagan

Robert Kagan has put it in terms the Leftinistra can understand…”The ‘Surge’ Is Succeeding”. This spells Bad News for the Murthas, et al, that have repeatedly stated that “We Can’t Do It”. Wow. I wrote a piece for TVC not too long ago about that and the Leftinistra didn’t like it. Too bad. Facts are facts.

And then, we find this at the California Conservative…

“…Rest assured that this information is giving Democrat strategists heartburn, if not ulcers. Let’s hope that this type of positive information keeps coming another six months. If it does, then Democrats will be in a precarious position for 2008…”

Speaking Out For The Silent Majority

Only in America can good news for Victory be such bad news for the Leftinistra…simply amazing…
