OH! SO *THAT'S* WHAT'S GOING ON IN IRAQ!

TJ’s Anti-Contrarian Blog has an interview with SFC Thomas Nichols of Jack Army. After reading it, I noticed a pattern:

"the Iraqi Police in this area are stepping up to that challenge more and more every day"

When we started waving at passing motorists and pedestrians as we drove by in our up-armored humvee’s, people looked confused and unsure what we were doing. Now, we wave and smile and get waves and smiles in return.

Iraqis are turning in insurgents, calling when they see IEDs and even chasing away bad guys in some cases.

The best part is seeing the Iraqis take charge of situations in the area. From IED discoveries to crowd control to providing security for pilgrims moving through the area, the Iraqi Army and Police are performing more and more of those tasks with less involvement from Coalition Forces.

I want to tell the story of Iraq as it is, not as I want it to be. It would mostly be good news, though, because that is what is mostly going on: infrastructure projects, new schools and medical clinics, humanitarian programs, security operations, etc.

Yup. I think it's pretty obvious from reading this that we've lost the war, lost the peace and need to pull out ASAP.

I mean, it just looks so BLEAK, and there's simply nothing to be optimistic about.

Don't you see what's happening in that picture? See how the children are holding their hands in front of their faces? They are shielding their eyes from the Sun, which has no effect whatsoever on global warming, and it's all because Bush did not sign Kyoto.

Bush has terrorized the Iraqi people with Global Warming.

Thanks much for getting this interview out to the blogosphere.
Hopefully some Moonbats will read it and learn something new.

Did you just use the words "Moonbats" and "learn" in the same sentence? :-D

Oops, Freudian slip. It's something you hope for, but that can never happen in the real world.
