The Surge Is Working (But Don't Tell The Democrats!)

PSST....NOT TOO LOUD...THE SURGE IS WORKING...DON'T TELL THE DEMOCRATS...
Progress is being made on a daily basis in Iraq, as Baghdad continues to get safer and the bad guys continue to get killed.
Don’t tell that to the Democrats, though, why screw up a perfectly good election season?
Listening to Obama, Hillary, John Edwards, not to mention Harry Reid and THAT crew, you would think that the American Forces have suffered complete annihilation in Iraq, and a Bataan-like scenario is unfolding.
A catastrophe there is just what the doctor ordered, they think. If Iraq is lost, then Bush's policy is finally dead, and they can coattail an election win on the outcome.
Obama and Hillary, or Hillary (with Bill, of course) and Obama will save the day.
Ya, right.
Truth is, that mid-level officer corps that the Iraqi Security forces so desperately need is taking shape.
On a daily basis, Iraqi forces are taking over, and their blood on the pavement is stark evidence of that statement.
Meanwhile, American diplomats are twisting arms to get the important oil-revenue issue squared away, and within weeks, that issue will be put to bed.
In Afghanistan, over 2,000 Taliban lay rotting in their graves, their so-called spring offensive dying a miserable death.
Trouble is, we have lost the war, according to the Democrats. Trouble is, we can't beat these guys. Trouble is we hate Bush, they say.
Nuts.
The real trouble is American politics. It serves the opposition well if things go bad, and that is what has happened in this case.
Maybe the civil war will drag on there...maybe partition is inevitable. It took years for a fledgling America to go from a revolutionary government to a democracy 231 years ago....I assume that if we have to wait another 5 years there that is out of the question, I guess.
Nope, what we wanted all along was an instant war...a Microwave War....done in 30 seconds.
Instead, the forces of Doom what to strangle that nascent seed that has sprouted over there. Hatred of the president...absolute hatred of the president...is the motivating factor....and to hell with what's really happening there.
Guess they don't see the threat against our way of life....that these folks won't stop until your momma, sister and wife wear a burka and you pray five times a day. Dump your Gillette stock I say, as razors will be thing of the past if either Hillary or Obama are elected.
Well, The Eagle has returned full of solid intel that is of a positive nature. US Forces are kicking butt, and bad guys are getting killed off everywhere.
Trouble is, we won't hear that story.
Except right here.
