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.
Ya freakin’ idiot – this war has already lasted longer than WWII. And in WWII – and Vietnam – when your hitch was up – your hitch was up – unless you had some extremely particular skill set – which occasionally got your tour bumped out. Guys in ‘nam could count their days left in-country – and did.
Don’t try to pedle your crap about WWII to me – my father was a combat infantryman in the 95th, my uncle John was a Marine in the Pacific, Frank was a B-24 pilot with 37 combat missions, Dan and Dick were in the Navy, Clara and Eleanor were in the WAC’s in London during the blitz – and none of them served as long as some of the guys in Iraq have – and they defeated the Nazis and the Imperial Japanese.
Nothing on the scale of this crap they’re pulling in Iraq — and all because of Rumsfeld’s incompetence and obsession with a stripped down military.
Scaulen – you’re a clueless tool. And it’s fools like you that caused – and are continuing to casue – unnecessary US casualties – by mindless supporting the stupidest, most corrupt and incompetnent President in the history of the United States of America
Watch the soldiers salute Bush everywhere he goes. Watch the soldiers shake hands with Bush everywhere he goes. Watch the soldiers listen to Bush when he’s giving speeches. Watch Bush meet the families of the fallen soldiers. Watch Bush cry with them. Just a small piece of evidence showing how much Bush cares about our soldiers and Americans.
Scaulen’s right. This is an ALL-VOLUNTEER military AND they continue to re-up their tours…repeatedly.
And he’s right that all soothie’s doing is causing the war to drag on and helping cause more deaths of our own troops. He’s also pushing for pullout, which will cause far more deaths not only to our soldiers but also the Americans.
Scaulen – it’s you and Lurker that are the idiots. A president that cared about the troops would not have sent them in prematurely – before the weapons inspectors finished their work. Had they – the #1 justification for the war would have been eliminated – Saddam Hussein did not have WMD’s.
A president who cared about the troops would not have sent them in insufficient numbers (Gen. Shinseki); he would not have sent them without body armor and armored personnel vehicles; he would not have sent them without any plan for post-war security and recovery.
As for WWII, when it comes to WWII, my father was a combat infantryman in the 95th fighting across Europe – he was at Buchenwald, my uncle John was a Marine in the Pacific, Frank flew a B-24 Liberator on 37 combat missions over Germany for the 8th Air Force, Dan and Dick were in the Navy, Eleanor and Clara were WAC’s in London during the Blitz – so spare me the WWII bull**** this war has already lasted longer than WWII – and in WWII at the end of your tour – unless you had some special skill – you were out of the armed forces. Ditto Nam. In Nam, troops could count their days left in-country.
Bush’s inability to admit mistakes means he will leave the troops in Iraq to provide target practice for insurgents and terrorists. If he was serious about Iraq – he’d send another 150,000 troops – but he isn’t – he won’t – and he can’t – because of his and Rumsfeld’s incompetence, the Army is stretched to its limit – and who suffers – the smug buffoon in the White House? the now retired Geezer? Nope – its the troops that suffer the consequences of a clueless incompetent CinC.
And clueless tools like you supporting him only prolong the shooting gallery.
The war’s over- We won. Bring the troops home.
