The splurge is succeeding.
The Delusional Right.

And the press is trying to please the Bush Admenistration by improving on the bad news: i.e. reporting that only 175 died when the actual figure was 195.

As always we at the RNC/NRA are "protecting the American Way of death."

Where Are The NEOCONS ?

Pussies !!

-Sarge

Reading things like this, the ongoing disaster we now find ourselves in becomes more understandable. We're strangers in a strange land.

"the Yazidi sect, a primarily Kurdish group with ancient roots that worships an angel figure considered to be the devil by some Muslims and Christians............

The sect has been the targets of attacks in the past, with the most violent coming after the stoning death in April of a Yazidi teenager who had recently converted to Islam after she eloped with a Muslim. Police said the 18-year-old woman was killed by relatives who disapproved of the match.

Two weeks later, gunmen shot and killed 23 Yazidis execution-style after stopping their bus and separating out followers of other faiths in what was believed to have been retaliation for the woman's death."

neo cons on this site work in cycles
they come here about every two weeks, post about 25 times in a thread, talk about "owning the board"
and then dissapear

doem, that is actually a pretty good observation. I agree. Tools do tend to have a modus operandi.

Doem

Much like they avoided your thread about Cheney in '94.

Still think that would should STILL be on the front page.

"Army Maj. Gen. Benjamin Mixon, the commander of U.S. forces in northern Iraq, said last month that he proposed reducing American troop levels in Ninevah and predicted the province would shift to Iraqi government control as early as this month. It was unclear whether that projection would hold after Tuesday's staggering death tolls."

D'uh...

The splurge is succeeding.

actually sarge I am right here.........


and yes it is working.

ramadi reported NO suicide bombs in this reporting period...THAT WAS NONE...........


and here again for several days in a row we have reports of bombings which is always bad, but notice that they are being reported more and more north of bagdad......and also in the northwest part of iraq.....


so I guess that doesnt mean that we could possibly be driving them out of bagdad........oh no of course not..........well unless it would prove a leftist point to do that....then you would be all over it.

I chose to think that it does mean that we are more and more driving them out and all the time we are driving more of them out, we are getting more and more of iraqis coming to our side to rid their country of alqadi and IRANIAN ARMS.

so you will just have to excuse me for being postitive and hopefull of victory in this war.

"Whack the Mole..." (or is it "Spank the Monkey..." either whore works).

And can you explain "Victory"? How many times in history has an occupation force won out in modern warfare....Just asking....

chill for about the ten thousand time...

victory in iraq is a government that can govern and defend itself.....and more and more this is happening in small but sure steps regardless of the spin applied by american socialist.......


and you can make for damn sure that the left is poised to take credit for it either way..

troops leave......'we forced him to'.

more troops killed.......'we told you so'

and of course an article yesterday from the la times......talks of success in iraq much in line with the two brookings people........cant wait to see how the leftys asassinate this reporter.....

BLT: 200 people killed in kurdistan is a sign of success? Last week the fighty rightiys were proclaiming kurdistan a beacon of success.
Other signs that the splurge is working:

Also Tuesday, a deputy oil minister was kidnapped by armed men at his home in the Oil Ministry compound in eastern Baghdad, according to ministry spokesman Assem Jihad. Abdel Jabar al-Wagaa, the senior assistant to Oil Minister Hussein al-Shahristani, was seized along with several other ministry staff members, Jihad said.

The abduction was carried out by gunmen wearing Iraqi security force uniforms who entered the compound late Tuesday afternoon in more than a dozen official vehicles, according to the spokesman.

It coulda been the Minister himself! That is a major success.

All we need is about 400,000 splurgers to make this work, for at least as long as they are there. And, of course, a pro-sunni strongman leader in Iraq.
Still waiting to here your definition of "victory" though. I guess that's one of them "buzzwords" that you get to adjust to what you end up with.
Used to be "victory" meant a Constitution and elected government. We got both of them, we just don't like them. A rebuilt Iraq security force was a sign of victory, but we don't like the one we rebuilt.

victory in iraq is a government that can govern and defend itself.....and more and more this is happening

The only way that is happening is when the sunnis accept the fact that they're #3. That and when the shia majority "cleanse' Baghdad and other areas and impose a shia majority on the areas. The kurdish president said they and the shia could "deal with" the sunnis jihadists in about two weeks, if left to their own devices.
Unfortuately, the saudi/Bush policy is that the sunnis be treated as equals to the majority and in the government.
Iraq isn't even about Iraq anymore. Notice how we never really went after al queda until the sunnis got tired of them? As long as the al queda targets were principally shia, we were cool with that. As long as their plan was to terrorise the Iraqi government into concessions for the sunnis, it was all good. It's all about Bush trying to put the Iranian/shia Pandora back in the box after he let it out.
The Iraqis are just human body armor in this proxy war.

You have to look on the bright side. The Yazidis are free from Saddam's tyranny.

**** You have to look on the bright side. The Yazidis are free from Saddam's tyranny.

Is that why Malaki called an emergengy conferance due to the government collapsing?

news.yahoo.com

Petraous says it was "Al Qaida in Iraq" that did it.

Oh.

We know what to expect in September.

500 killed in these attacks.

500 killed in these attacks.
Well, somebody's surge is working, anyways.
Now Petraeus says he's going to draw down the troop strength in the spring.
Which is kind of like the Captain of the Titanic saying he's going to fill the bilges after it hit the iceberg. There's really nothing else he can do.

Mission Accomplishitfucked!!
