Today's Iraq report
http://www.antimedia.us/posts/1146536839.shtml


   I haven't posted anything on Iraq for some time, so this is going to
   be some serious catch-up. While the media has been busy trying to sell
   you on the idea of civil war in Iraq and the headlines have been
   filled with bombings and death, our troops, working [1]hand in hand
   with the Iraqis, have been quietly working to rid Iraq of its criminal
   elements and foreign terrorists.
   Terrorists and "insurgents" have been dying steadily, and in large
   numbers, since the fall of Baghdad, only to be replaced by more fools
   who are eager for paradise. The terrorists are even resorting to
   [2]blowing up empty buildings in a desperate attempt to stop the
   steady drumbeat of progress in Iraq.
   Iraqi citizens [3]continue to provide tips that lead to more weapons
   caches, some of which [4]are quite large, sometimes [5]capturing the
   "insurgents" red-handed. The problem in Iraq is that, for every
   [6]weapons cache and [7]IED uncovered, there are [8]hundreds more
   [9]just like it.
   The "insurgents" don't mind [10]killing children with their IEDs
   either, apparently enjoying death no matter who they kill. That is why
   we should [11]celebrate every terrorist's death, as our troops are
   making Iraq safe for the honest citizens who only want what you and I
   want, peace, security and an opportunity to prosper. That is why our
   troops [12]track down and kill the bad guys whereever they can find
   them, and the Iraqi troops [13]do the same.
   The work is hard and extremely dangerous, and our troops keep
   re-enlisting for more. It's hard to imagine anyone who would be more
   realistic about Iraq and its future than the men and women putting
   their lives on the line every day. The fact that they continue to
   volunteer for the duty speaks volumes about what's really going on in
   Iraq.
