Time To Declare Victory In Iraq and Bring 'Em All Home

 In spite of the liberals and MSM doing everything possible to sabotage a victory in Iraq and a huge win in the war on terror it finally looks as though General Patreaus has found the winning formula and has kicked the living crap of the supposed Holy Warrior Jihadders, finally killing off most of them off and scaring the rest right back into the caves and camels from whence they came.



The ultimate plan of drawing the radical nuts into a land closer to their home to do battle has ultimately worked, as the rest of the world and the liberals in particular were all way too stupid to read between the lines and see the real strategy at work.



Mission accomplished is the right phrase at the right time so the Fine and Unmatched Military along with the so called "warmogering Chickenhawk" Republicans who stuck their political necks out in the name of reforging the middle east into a civilized world for once in man's history can rightfully take the credit due for liberating millions of Iraqi's and Afghani's after 9-11,  as opposed to turning the entire region to glass after that morning which most of the people I know and speak with daily were all for that at the time, but have now changed our minds seeing the ultimate success of Democracy take hold in those two countries. .

Iraqis lead final purge of Al-Qaeda -



Times Online: "American and Iraqi forces are driving Al-Qaeda in Iraq out of its last redoubt in the north of the country in the culmination of one of the most spectacular victories of the war on terror.



After being forced from its strongholds in the west and centre of Iraq in the past two years, Al-Qaeda’s dwindling band of fighters has made a defiant “last stand” in the northern city of Mosul.



A huge operation to crush the 1,200 fighters who remained from a terrorist force once estimated at more than 12,000 began on May 10.



Operation Lion’s Roar, in which the Iraqi army combined forces with the Americans’ 3rd Armoured Cavalry Regiment, has already resulted in the death of Abu Khalaf, the Al-Qaeda leader, and the capture of more than 1,000 suspects."



The group has been reduced to hit-and-run attacks, including one that killed
two off-duty policemen yesterday, and sporadic bombings aimed at killing
large numbers of officials and civilians.


Last Friday I joined the 2nd Iraqi Division as it supported local police in a
house-to-house search for one such bomb after intelligence pointed to a
large explosion today.




Even in the district of Zanjali, previously a hotbed of the insurgency, it was
possible to accompany an Iraqi colonel on foot through streets of
breeze-block houses studded with bullet holes. Hundreds of houses were
searched without resistance but no bomb was found, only 60kg of explosives.


American and Iraqi leaders believe that while it would be premature to write
off Al-Qaeda in Iraq, the Sunni group has lost control of its last urban
base in Mosul and its remnants have been largely driven into the countryside
to the south.




Nouri al-Maliki, Iraq’s prime minister, who has also led a crackdown on the
Shi’ite Mahdi Army in Basra and Baghdad in recent months, claimed yesterday
that his government had “defeated” terrorism.


“They were intending to besiege Baghdad and control it,” Maliki said. “But
thanks to the will of the tribes, security forces, army and all Iraqis, we
defeated them.”


The number of foreign fighters coming over the border from Syria to bolster
Al-Qaeda’s numbers is thought to have declined to as few as 20 a month,
compared with 120 a month at its peak.




Brigadier General Abdullah Abdul, a senior Iraqi commander, said: “We’ve
limited their movements with check-points. They are doing small attacks and
trying big ones, but they’re mostly not succeeding.”

Major-General Mark Hertling, American commander in the north, said: “I think
we’re at the irreversible point.”

MISSION ACOMPLISHED IS RIGHT BABY, & a job well done by our Military men and women who were the ones who sacrificed for this long awaited and costly outcome in American life and treasure, and now it's time for grateful Iraq to start paying us back with black gold as soon as possible since we didn't just take it like the liberals claimed we would. Misguided idiots they all are.
