   Good stuff. Here’s what caught my eye:

   In Amara, police captured two Mahdi Army fighters as they were transporting 25 “anti-tank landmines”.

   More evidence as to who and how concerning the construction of these “landmines”.

   “They seem interested to meet you, to get to know us,” said Sand. “Not a lot of frowns or anything, a lot of smiles. When I talked to a few of the people, they want peace, and they are more glad we’re here and that we’re trying to work on a solution.”

   More stuff you will not get form the MSM.

   God bless you guys!

   For balance,

   the US military and its Iraqi “allies” are laying siege to a sprawling neighborhood in Baghdad housing roughly 2.5 million Iraqis, launching air strikes, artillery attacks, tank shells and other assorted ordnance, shutting down hospitals and bombing others, cutting off the supply of food and walling off entire sectors of the embattled region, causing a refugee crisis by their actions - and now actually pursuing a policy with the intent of creating a larger refugee crisis!

   lgm, these are the words our enemies would use. I find it difficult to accept the above (and the linked information) as an accurate description of the battle in question. Sorry, I think Bill Ardolino’s writings are probably closer to the truth.

   Zorro - you have to remember that lgm wants us to lose - he gets all his information from the al-terrorista network.

   I wonder how he’s going to handle it when we have to go in and take out that nutcase Amadenijad in Iran.

   lgm, wether you agree or not as to why we are in Iraq, you could at least root for the home team…your own people instead of being a sycophant for the other side.

   If we end up having to leave Iraq a mess after Obama/McCain walks in, remember, lgm, the same US military will eventually have to do the same thing near your neighborhood coffee house because by then-that is what will have to be done.

   Capiche?

    The two do not contradict each other. Ardolino describes the fighting he can see, which is not the whole story. The Americans are not bombing his location. He has supply lines.

    I am not rooting for the other side. But I am yelling at the coach of my side, who seems to be incompetent.

    The term “useful idiot” was coined for people just like you.

    the funniest thing is this thing called “balance” by the Left and the Right.

    two people can look at the same thing and see two different events or phenomena entirely.

    to say that one view balances the other means what? to me your concept implies your elitist view of your fellow primates as passive butt monkeys who absorb content into their membranes— a little from here and a little from there— and presto, butt monkey brains in stasis; not too much of Ardolino and not too much of Alexander “wet brain” Cockburn.

    all i know for sure is that the source you cite (and i dont know who or what it is) is more than likely unconcerned about the millions of human beings murdered over the past 10 decades by Marxist and Islamo Fascist thugs the world over. That is never a humanitarian crisis. But as soon as the US military steps in to a place like the Middle East and begins to initiate change the Saudi’s fear, and are fighting back against (by artificially raising the price of oil), there is some nebulous humanitarian crisis going on.

    Not buyin it. Not by a long shot that somehow that “America is evil” story “balances” anything but the checkbooks of freelance writers who can’t hold a candle to Yon or Ardolino.

    Your “balance” will be the laughing stock of history as the marketplace of ideas and intellectual accountability turns out the roach nested MSM and Marxist News Network in droves after we attack and level Syria— while the roaches decry the possibility of leveling Iran.

    How’s that for balance? Oh sorry. The information came from fighting men and women in Iraq.

    the commander of forces in Iraq is cleaning up the situation there dramatically. Bush, like Lincoln, needed time to find a commanding general who had the guts and the will to fight- despite what Pelosi Galore or the New York Dimes were wringing their hands about.

    The commanding general in Iraq whipped the butts of the “insurgent” scum and whipped the butts of the yellow bellies here at home.

    Have we heard one whit from Pelosi Galore since the Petraeus testimony in Congress?

    I don’t expect you to agree with me on this. But Petraeus’ competence reflects on Bush’s…not some ratty poll run on the Makeup Network Channel….or of Code PinkyDinky Newsletter readers.

    Blood and iron build countries. Add pressure and time and you have a country with institutions that can function independently enough to feed people, give them clean water to drink, and constructive work to do.

    Give Iraq 10 more years, a burnt to the ground Syria, and a Mullah-less leadership in Iran—- and you will see a different subcontinent in Asia, a subcontinent with a major US military presence that Douglas MacArthur could never envision.

    And it happened on the watch of the President you Lefties love to hate and belittle.

    That’s the thing about bein President: you can be the biggest lummock on the planet, but if you listen to the right people (something Clinton did not do on the matter of global terror and Saddam Hussein), you can win big- despite what the media-pol machine deity makers say.

    The world has changed forever- deal with it.

    In other words, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend,” right?

    You may not “root for the other side,” but your consistent anti-U.S. stance, liberally (pun intended) marinated with your hatred of Bush, really means you give tacit approval to the terrorists.

    I mean, of course civilians will be killed when the cowardly terrorists and Mahdi’s hide amongst them, and use schools, hospitals and mosques as bases of attack. That is what they want! It is a win/win solution for them, as they make us look like the bad guy. With the help of the press and “patriots” like you lgm.

    Do you really sit there in your ivory tower and think that you are the only one that can read blogs and see how the media can be manipulated by well timed terrorist attacks?

    Don’t you realize that you are a tool (pun actually unintended this time) of the terrorists, as are the media and liberal politicians? They are manipulating you and you suck it up like Thanksgiving gravy.

    It is time to accept the fact that we aren’t the bad guys. We aren’t perfect, but we aren’t the bogeymen you and your liberal/socialist/communist cronies make us out to be.
