Wow, I thought Iraq had been lost to the terrorists!
That is the drumbeat from Democrats and media. And yet, from the BBC,this short article.
“Iraq army ‘in control’ of Basra”
“The Iraqi Army commander in Basra says his forces are in “almost complete control” of the city.
The commander, General Mohan al Freiji, denied reports that he had given the leaders of Shia militias in the city 24 hours to give themselves up.”
The above will be ignored in the American press. This,"The US has sent 1,000 combat troops to Basra to help the Iraqi army and UK and US special forces are launching raids to detain key figures in the militias.” will be all they focus on.
Well, lets us smack it down now. Is the Iraqi military and police capable of running Spec Ops at this point in time? No. Is it unreasonable that American and British Spec Op forces are hoeing that row? No. It is, in fact, what Democrats have listed as a primary mission for Coalition Forces in the GWoT.
And this,"There are signs of the militias’ hold on the city weakening, says our correspondent.
There are reports of women dressing less conservatively, couples walking arm-in-arm and live music being played at weddings - all things that would have been impossible a few weeks ago, adds our correspondent.”, will also be ignored. As soon as Mookie and his criminals start retaliating against the citizens of Iraq, then the Democrats and media will crow about failure again.
Count on it.
UPDATE; from Xinhua.
From Chinese National Press.
"U.S. troops kill 15 gunmen in Baghdad"
"BAGHDAD, April 23 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. military said Wednesday that its forces killed 15 gunmen overnight in Shiite areas in Baghdad, which witnessed fierce fighting recently between Shiite Sadr followers and the U.S.-backed Iraqi security forces.
A U.S. patrol was attacked by gunmen in eastern Baghdad with a roadside bomb and rocket propelled grenades. The soldiers fired back with small arms fire, killing six gunmen, a military statement said.
A U.S. unmanned drone spotted two gunmen putting a mortar tube into a vehicle and then drove off in northeastern Baghdad. The drone then fired a Hellfire missile, killing two gunmen, the statement said."
How many Democrats and "journalists" will admit this is good news?
