Politicians who want to end the Iraq war need to read this post to the end

So all the armchair experts in DC and NY are not omnipotent, nor do they have the ability to experience the reality of Iraq from half a world away. No big surprise there. It is just a shock how many people, in this modern age of realtime reporting through the internet, still listen to the NY and DC talking heads. Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, has seen what is happening in Iraq and notes the ‘sea change’ in Iraq (something I have been saying for weeks now, but then I read local news sources and don’t listen to Dan Rather clones and Pols out pandering for votes):

RAMADI, Iraq In his most optimistic remarks since the U.S. troop buildup began, Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said today that parts of Iraq have undergone a “sea change” in security in recent months, and this will influence his recommendation to President Bush on how long to continue the current strategy.

After conferring with Maj. Gen. Walter Gaskin and other commanders in this provincial capital west of Baghdad, Pace told reporters he has gathered a positive picture of the security environment not only here but also in Baghdad, where he began his visit on Monday.

He was asked whether this would inform his thinking about whether to continue the current strategy, with extra U.S. troops battling to secure Baghdad and Anbar province.

“It will because what I’m hearing now is a sea change that is taking place in many places here,” he replied. “It’s no longer a matter of pushing al-Qaida out of Ramadi, for example, but rather _ now that they have been pushed out _ helping the local police and the local army have a chance to get their feet on the ground and set up their systems.”

Mop-up and secure. That is where we are at with those areas that were once the location of 80% of Iraq’s violence. Diyala, Babil and other locations (not originally on the Surge prime list) are close to cleared and ready to graduate to mop-up and secure status.

Yes, there are some roaming Islamo Fascists still around trying to kill as many Muslims as possible because the US Congress and the US Media have trained these killers that that is the only way to garner attention and find any hope of stopping America. If the liberals had said “given these brutal massacres we have no choice but to finish al-Qaeda” the fascists would have received a different message and possibly not gone on a massacre spree. But no, the liberal opportunists decided it was in their best interest to use the deaths for political gain. Which had the obvious result of signalling al-Qaeda to kill more and more for the attention they so crave. So this is what the Surrendercrats and SurrenderMedia have trained the fascists to do as much of as possible in order to keep hope alive someone will stop US forces before they completely decimate al-Qaeda:

Dozens of Shiite villagers in the north were massacred by Sunni extremists, two officials said Tuesday, while a car bomb exploded across the street from the Iranian Embassy in the heart of Baghdad and killed four civilians.

…

Police Col. Ragheb Radhi al-Omairi said 29 members of a Shiite tribe were massacred overnight in Diyala province when dozens of suspected Sunni gunmen raided their village near Muqdadiyah, about 60 miles northeast of Baghdad. The dead included four women, al-Omairi said.

I said it before and I will say it again – the reason political disputes need to end at our borders is so we don’t allow mad killers the opportunity to use massive death and destruction to influence our strategies. When the Surrendercrats break with Bush they send a signal to al-Qaeda to ramp up the killing. The only silver lining in this is al-Qaeda was so excited to keep the PR images rolling theywent too far and brought the Iraqi street out of their stupor. Now Iraqis who once sheltered and allied with al-Qaeda have taken up arms against them or are turning them in. And this is resulting in the decimation of al-Qaeda anyway:

The top target for al Qaeda in Iraq south of Baghdad was killed July 14 in Arab Jabour by precision-guided munitions, the Excalibur.

Shortly after 12 p.m., 1st Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, received a call that Abu Jurah and 14 anti-Iraqi forces were meeting at a house in Arab Jabour.

Abu Jurah was an AQI cell leader and was responsible for improvised explosive devices, vehicle-borne IED and indirect fire attacks on Coalition Forces in Arab Jabour.

At approximately 1:12 p.m., the house was positively identified allowing 1st Battalion, 9th Field Artillery Regiment to fire two Excalibur rounds destroying the meeting house.

An unmanned aerial vehicle observed persons leaving the house, loading injured individuals into a sedan and fleeing the scene.

An AH-64 Apache helicopter engaged the sedan destroying it.

The Democrat’s lame all-nighter tonight will once again try and snatch a victory for al-Qaeda out of their current string of defeats. It is the wrong singal to send to these murderers. al-Qaeda thinks if they stack up a couple hundred dead Iraqis it will help Dems stop Bush from killing off al-Qaeda. This is what they think. We see every showdown with Congress preceded with relentless massacres across Iraq – to send a signal.

If Democrats and other Surrendercrats cared about the human toll in Iraq they would swear to stay in Iraq until the killing ended and all the terrorists were captured and Killed. Then we would see the end of the bloodshed because the proper signal would have been sent to the Islamo Fascists

Surrendercrats: see if you can untrain al-Qaeda. See if unity will end this by making al-Qaeda give up instead of Bush. Send the right signal if you really want to stop the carnage (verses just gaining votes).

Everyone please pass this challenge on to everyone you know. Dems have their all-nighter tonight, it is a good time to send the right signal to al-Qaeda.
