Diyala Is Turning On al-Qaeda
George Bush could end his presidency on a surprising high note: success in Iraq. Of course the Bush haters left and right will do all they can to pillory the man. But the facts could tell a very different story if things keep moving the direction they are going in Diyala Province – the last large stronghold of al-Qaeda.
U.S. forces have begun arming nationalist guerrillas and former Saddam Hussein loyalists — and coordinating tactics — in a marriage of convenience against al Qaeda radicals in one of Iraq’s most violent provinces, senior U.S. commanders tell CNN.
This new alliance, a result of the deepening divisions among Iraqi insurgent factions, was on display earlier this week at a highway intersection in the town of Tahrir. There, a group of some 15 insurgents publicly chanted: “Death to al Qaeda.”
Death to al-Qaeda! Imagine that. Too bad we don’t have video of that to show on the evening news. That would be a nice chunk of crow to serve up for the Surrendercrats and the SurrenderMedia. It must be really starting to turn because this story is from one of the big SurrenderMedia outlets: CNN.
This result was actually just a matter of time. Why? Because of the nature of our enemy:
“The al Qaeda organization has dominated and humiliated Sunnis, Shiites and jihadis. It has forced people from their homes. They can’t get enough blood. They killed many honest scholars, preachers and loyal mujahedeen,” one of the group’s spokesmen read from a written manifesto.
…
Nationalist insurgents say al Qaeda excesses are behind their falling-out. Several sources said al Qaeda members burned a 7-year-old child alive and murdered women and other children in the towns and villages around the provincial capital of Baquba. They did not give names or dates to back up their claims.
This is why George Bush is actually a much greater leader than those who snipe at him from Congress and elsewhere. Bush has shown perseverance and determination in this matter. al-Qaeda is an Islamo Fascist organization. The only difference between them and the Nazis is the rationalization for the bloodthirst and the language they speak. And make no mistake, this is an Iraq-wide phenomena happening:
The changing strategy isn’t just confined to Diyala, according to U.S. officials. Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, told CNN Thursday that tribal forces in Anbar, the restive Sunni province west of the Iraqi capital, have “decided to oppose al Qaeda and fight with the coalition forces against them.”
“What’s taken place in Anbar is almost breathtaking,” he said. “In the last several months, tribes that turned a blind eye to what al Qaeda was doing in that province are now opposing al Qaeda very vigorously. And the level of violence in Anbar has plummeted, although there clearly is still work to be done.”
Victory is not assured, any more than it was in WW II after the invasion at Normandy. But we are on a path that is headed in that direction. And Bush, the great conservative, could go down in history overshadowing all those petty critics who snipe at him from the left and the right. Bush does something few people can muster. He accomplishes things. If he accomplishes his plan for Iraq the world will owe him a debt of gratitude. And a lot of people will owe him an apology.
That’s the best you’ve got?
Pa-the-tic.

When you have no answers!
When you have no knowledge, except having read one Leftist, Anti-American, Pro-Jihadi book!
When you don’t have a clue as to what is going on!
When the best days of your life were in the sixties , like all the other good little Communists, smoking hash with your other Anti-American/Pro-VC, Che T-shirt wearing hippie friends, and protesting the Vietnam War like your idols Jane Fonda and John “I swear I was in Cambodia on New Year’s Eve, honestly” Kerry!
When you’ve absolutely been shut down, by someone smarter, better educated, more intelligence, better connected, and who knows what’s going on.
When you’ve been absolutely devastated by the FACTS!
That’s what you post above!

5. The below quotes are from “THECENTERCANNOTHOLD” ; the greatest “hits” from this board in the past couple of days, the Delusional rantings of a Lunar Chiroptera fringe nutbag, who is Racist against not only Jews but Hispanics; who is also Proudly Anti-American and Pro-Jihadi. A worshipper of fellow fringe nutbags from both the left and the right; his “heroes” include: Ron Paul, William Lind, Juan Cole and Pat Buchanan:
“You’re going to lose both the Southwest and the Mideast.â€
“And yes I said “Surrender to Mexico Strata†because long before ragtag bans of Moslems will make his kids bow to Mecca, the Mexican revanchists will recapture the Southwest for “La Raza.â€
“I would remain silent, avoiding all protest, at the transmogrification of the Southwest,…â€
“Aj of course is an Islamophobiac, which is several degrees worse than a hypochondriac inasmuch as it is Hispanics at 15% and with a nation bordering us, not Moslems at 3% with nations a half a globe away who constitute a challenge.â€
“..as you are to the fifth column of Zionist neocons posing as conservatives who fool dupes like you to shed their children’s blood for Ashkenazi racist endeavours.â€
“…of the neocon quagmire beleiving in traitors and fools who…â€
“….is any Moslem anywhere in the world who wants Israel to give back the West Bank and Samaria to Palestinians and who resents American subsidization of Israel and it is any Moslem in the world who wants American bases and meddling, including CIA meddling in
Moslem countries elections and government,expurgated from Islamic nations…..â€
You can’t make this stuff up!
The fact that there are such brain-damaged individuals as he and “Soothsayer”, who actually “pass” as American “citizens”, is almost inconceiveable!
