Barrack Obama refuses to accept we are winning in Iraq
At what point will Senator Obama and the Democrats have to accept that we and the Iraqi government are winning the war? Does Obama and the Democrats not know about about developments in Iraq? Below are many successes happening in Iraq in the last few months that we are not hearing. These are from well respected sources such as the New York Times and PBS News:
- Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki sent the Iraqi army into Basra to quell the Mahdi Army. The Mahdi’s are led by Iranian Backed Muqtada Al-Sadr. Al-Sadr is responsible for much of the Iraqi civilian, Iraqi Military and American deaths. The Iraqi army drove out the Mahdi Army and seized the ports from Iranian-backed militias. This article from the New York Times
- Defeated the Mahdi Army in Najaf, Karbala, Hilla, Kut, Nasiriyah and Diwaniyah
- With no American ground forces, the Iraqi army entered and occupied Sadr City suburb of Baghdad. Sadr City is a Mahdi Army stronghold. This article from PBS
- The Iraqi parliament enacted de-Baathification This was one of the Items that Democrats would we needed beside military success, that Iraq needed political reform and reunification was what was needed. De-Bathification has happened with vetted ex Saddam Hussein military. These skilled well vetted officers who were Iraqi Patriots and not Saddam henchmen can once again serve Iraq.
- Parliament passed reconciliation benchmarks a pension law, an amnesty law, and provincial elections and powers law. The highly important Oil sharing is now happening by a parliamentary government budgeting process. This article from the New York Times
So why do the democrats and Obama refuse to recognize this? The answer is that they have no political advantage to do so. Senator Harry Reid claimed the war was lost. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi called the war a failure. Barrack Obama on his own website still says we need to turn a page in Iraq and leave regardless of the drastically improving situation
If Obama were to declare that the war has turned and we are winning it discounts everything he believes. In 2006 the Democrats won with a theme of ending the war, not winning it. It is going to be interesting when General Petraeus reports in July 2008 that the surge has met its military goals and most of it’s political goals.

I like this site. Why do I not find credible info like this anywhere else? The vast majority the American Press tells us none of these stories. I see the success stories in the foreign press a lot. I read all the articles that you linked to. I found it interesting that the headline seemed to be out of whack with the content. The content was good and had shown a picture of large victories for the US and the elected Iraqi government. The headlines were mixed, especially with the New York Times. The stories content spoke mostly of success, It is obvious the person writing the headline was not the same person who wrote the story.
It turns out that the rogue nuclear scientist A.Q. Khan had plans for advanced nuclear devices . These designs were compact and capable of fitting on small missiles like the Iranians have. It will be more bad news for the democrats if info like this gets out about Iran.

I think its a tribute to all the soilders who have fought over in Iraq that the progress they’ve made is reflective of America’s due diligence. Speaker Pelosi and Leader Reid are both too entrenched into believing whatever flows from their mouth, they would never retract or amend something they previously said. Reid, Peolsi, and Obama are all ignorant when it comes to these types of situation.
