Apparently gone are the days when American soldiers were forced to halt their pursuit of insurgents -- and to cease returning fire -- when the latter fled into mosques which doubled as safe houses and arms caches. This change in ROE could not have come soon enough.
All four aspects of the President's new plan seem, at this early stage, to be working well, and the difference is already being seen and felt by the people of Baghdad. As Mohammed wrote days ago:
"The best part…remains the return of displaced families to their homes; the latest count for this shows that more than 600 families have returned so far.
"More occupied mosques are also being returned to their original keepers, and earlier today Sunni and Shia worshippers gathered to hold joint prayers in several places in Baghdad."
The President's new strategy has thus far produced results which can only be viewed as good

It doesn't fall into their master plan of getting us to pull out our trooops and stop killing terrorists because it isn't nice.
We are dominating the battlefield now, kudos to the U.S. and British military!

ANY progress in the middle east is a miracle. These factions have been at war for centuries. People always bring up, "It's been longer than this or that war." DUH! That's because the longer a problem takes to create the longer it takes to fix.
We need to get behind the soldiers and tell THEIR stories of success. It's fine to hear the liberal side - that provides balance - but let's hear about some of the good things that are going on too.
Never, in the history of the U.S. has the story of a war been so lopsided in the media. Being in contact with soldiers on the ground I hear the good news - but where is this reflected in the news?

Wait a sec. You advise if Congress provides the authorities huge means to look at on individuals, it will use it? Benghazi is a witch hunt being devised from a tragedy. it really is Republicans searching for political probability. The AP surveillance is one hundred% criminal because congress exceeded a regulation conserving it really is below our very last president. The IRS subject, is a localized journey in Cincinnati, which got here about and became discovered very last year. The operative became released. The president had no longer some thing to do with any of this. i locate the AP tale annoying, notwithstanding it really is completely criminal. i locate the IRS subject troubling, notwithstanding it became dealt with a recommendations remote from presidential observe. relax. i'm positive you'll locate yet another vibrant merchandise to distract you quickly.

Yah on Laura Ingram this morning they were talking about how well its gone and how although there are still suicide bombers, secretarian violence like deaths quads etc. has more than halfed. Don't expect anyone in the drive-by media to report on this, only on the death of babies and american soldiers.
They will do anythign they can to undermine our attempt at victory, and are willing to lose a war all just to prove Bush wrong.

Are we surprised that media bury stories to shape public opinion?
BBC as well as CNN announced the collapsed of WTC Building 7 before it collapsed. Video footage have emerged in the past few days. Why haven't the media covered that story? Why are they covering Britney Spears bald head?

And two rainbows appeared over the last bombing site and the Shiia and Sunni joined hands and sang Kumbaya, in falsetto.

Insurgents aren't terrorist, they are Iraqi's!
This plan is another failure! What's new!
1,511 Innocent Iraqi deaths in February and 169 kids brought home in body bags since Jan 1 with another 5.303 wounded! And this is after you have been there longer than WW II! You call that success?

What are you talking about...his stupid plan...that they've tried several times before...hasn't even been implimented yet. Not to mention we see about 100 people dead every day from suicide bombings. What was it two days ago a suicide bomber killed a bunch of kids at a soccer game. Yeah...sounds likes things are just great.

It is working.
We're seeing the results of it, now. Something else you won't hear about, too. The Iraqis want us here and want us to stay until the government gets their act together and there is security from the Mahdi Militia and AQI. I hear that at every city council meeting in and around Baghdad.
Liberals don't want you to know about it because they would have to admit (again) that they were wrong.

There is nothing liberal about the press. They report what they see and just like the US government they sometimes get it wrong. As far as the troop build up, We will see, but keep this in mind. In 1967 the troop levels in Vietnam reached 467,000 and we saw how well that war (um sorry Police Action) ended. Anyway, Go troops. Keep your heads down and may your aim be true. God knows we need the gasoline.
